Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Poblano peppers
- 1 cup Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 14.5 oz Canned diced tomatoes (no-salt-added)
- 4 large Whole-grain tortillas
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 15 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the skin is charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them steam for 5 minutes. Once cool, gently peel off the charred skin, then make a small slit in each pepper to remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Stuff each poblano pepper with the cheese mixture, being careful not to tear the peppers.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the canned diced tomatoes, along with their juices, and simmer for 5 minutes to create a simple tomato sauce. Stir occasionally and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Warm the whole-grain tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Place one stuffed poblano pepper in the center of each tortilla. Spoon a generous amount of tomato sauce over the top, then gently wrap the tortilla around the pepper, folding in the sides to form a neat wrap.
Secure the wraps with toothpicks if necessary and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Bake the wraps in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until the tortillas are lightly crisp and the cheese is melted.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
