As a mom it can be difficult getting our kids to eat enough vegetables. I think one sure way to get your kids excited to eat healthier is to allow them to help you in the kitchen.

In this Stuffed Poblanos recipe, your littles can open up the can of diced tomatoes and depending on their age they can also help chop the vegetables. Another simple task they can easily do is add the shredded cheese to the meat mixture and the lime juice to the bell pepper salsa.

As you can see, this meal couldn’t be any easier, especially with the kids’ help. The Mexican flavors are dynamite and are pleasing to both kids and adults alike. Plus, it’s a real showstopper with the addition of the colorful salsa!

Assemble your ingredients: poblano peppers, ground meat, cheese, garlic powder, diced tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar and salt.

Here is what you need:

4 Poblanos, halved and seeded
1 lb. ground meat, browned
1 cup shredded cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
4 Roma tomatoes, diced
1 yellow pepper, diced
½ small red onion, diced
½ cup cilantro, chopped
2 tsp Lime juice
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Red Wine Vinegar
1 tsp salt, divided

Brown ground meat on stove top and stir in fire roasted tomatoes, garlic powder, salt and cheese.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400F. Brown ground meat on stove top. Remove from heat and stir in fire roasted tomatoes, garlic powder, ½ tsp salt and cheese.

Cut Poblano peppers in half.

Step 2: On a cutting board, halve lengthwise the Poblanos and remove seeds. Place the peppers in a greased 9×13 baking dish.

Stuff Poblano peppers with ground beef mixture.

Step 3: Spoon evenly the meat mixture into each pepper. Bake uncovered 30 minutes or until peppers can be easily pierced with a fork.

In a medium-sized bowl add tomatoes, yellow pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar and salt.

Step 4: Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl add tomatoes, yellow pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, ½ tsp salt.

Allow baked stuffed poblano peppers to cool.

Step 5: Remove stuffed peppers from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before topping with bell pepper salsa, additional cheese, plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and/or sliced avocado.
