📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 375 ℉.
2
Char the poblanos until blackened on all sides. You can do this over a gas stove top, on the grill or under the broiler. Place the blackened peppers in a bowl, cover, and set aside to cool.
3
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and half of the salt, then cook until the onions are translucent, about ⏱️ 5 minutes.
salt (divided)1 tablespoon
4
Add the rice and stir until coated with oil, then add the chicken stock or water. Bring it up to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for ⏱️ 10 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
5
While the rice cooks, remove the blackened skins from the cooled poblanos, then use a knife to scrape out the seeds. Don't rinse under water or it will wash off all the charred flavor. Finely chop the peppers.
6
When the rice is cooked, remove the lid and add the poblanos, the remaining salt, corn, sour cream, ¾ of the cheese and half of the scallions, then stir to combine.

7
Transfer to a medium casserole dish (9x9, 6x10, or similar) and spread out evenly. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for ⏱️ 30 minutes or until bubbly and browned around the edges.
8
Let cool for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes before serving. Top with remaining scallions and cilantro if desired.
