bacon wrapped peppers

Bacon Wrapped Poblano

Bacon wrapped poblano stuffed with Oaxaca cheese and sausage served in corn crema

One of my favorite dishes to make are Bacon Wrapped Poblanos. I’ve made them a million different ways, but this might just be my favorite. If you’ve ever tried a poblano pepper, sometimes called pasilla pepper, you know that one time you’ll get a spicy one and other times they have a definite kick to them, which makes this sweet corn crema the perfect way to eat these up! These babies are stuffed with a creamy Mexican melting cheese called Oaxaca and spicy crumbled sausage, them wrapped up in a smoky piece of bacon. You’ll want to make extra of these!

Bacon Wrapped Poblanos are hearty enough to serve as a main dish or perfect for an appetizer.  Serve with Enchiladas Suiza and a plate of freshly shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and avocado.  If you are having friends over, set out a couple poblanos, a batch of Frijoles Charros, your favorite tortilla chips and pico de gallo for an Out West inspired gathering.
