Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash the poblano peppers and pat them dry. Place them directly over an open flame (gas stove or grill) and char the outer skin until it is blistered and blackened all over. Alternatively, you can roast them in the oven on broil, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred.
Place the roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel for 5-10 minutes to allow the skins to loosen.
While the peppers are steaming, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet and cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and cooked rice. Mix until well combined and heated through. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Peel the skins off the poblano peppers and carefully make a slit down one side of each pepper. Remove the seeds and membranes, being careful not to tear the pepper completely.
Brush the outside of the poblanos with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stuff each pepper with the prepared filling, pressing gently to pack it in. Place the stuffed peppers in a greased baking dish.
Top each stuffed pepper with shredded cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove the poblano peppers from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with salsa and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
