  Ingredients

• 3 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeds scooped out
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• ½ red onion, diced
• 1 jalapeño, seeds removed and diced
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 lb. lump crab
• ½ can black beans, drained and rinsed
• ¼ cup scallions, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup cilantro, minced and divided
• 2 Tbsp lime juice
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375°F with a rack in the center.
2. In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering add onions and jalapeño and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add spices and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
3. Transfer onion mixture to a bowl and mix in crab, black beans, herbs (reserving a bit of each for garnish), and lime juice. Season mixture with salt and pepper.
4. Stuff mixture into halved poblano peppers and lay snuggly into a baking dish. Top with cheese, cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Turn on broiler, remove foil, and broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
5. Garnish with remaining herbs, and serve with lime wedges.

NOTE: If you like, you can use ½ lb. crab meat and ½ lb. of shrimp, peeled, deveined, and diced. Either way, it’s delicious!
