5 Ingredient Roasted Poblano Pepper Dip Recipes

POBLANO QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Roast the poblano peppers, if you haven't already done that.
• In a medium sized skillet, heat butter and oil over medium heat. When butter is melted, add onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Add peppers and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
• Add flour, chili powder, and cumin, and cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly.
• Slowly add milk while stirring constantly. Add chili powder and cumin. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in cheddar and cream cheese until melted. Stir in cilantro.
• Serve warm with chips.

CREAMY ROASTED POBLANO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°
• Set aside 1 garlic clove. Place poblano peppers, onion, and the remaining garlic cloves on a large baking sheet.
• Brush the peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss onions and garlic in the remaining tablespoon.
• Place in the oven to roast for 20-25 minutes, until all vegetables are tender and cooked through.
• Once the roasted vegetables are cooled down enough to touch, place all in a food processor, along with the reserved fresh garlic clove.
• Pulse a few times to combine.
• Add sour cream and salt and pepper to taste. Process until fully combined.
• Serve dip warm or cold. It's delicious warm with or on tacos or taquitos, and excellent cold as a tasty guac alternative with chips.

GRILLED POBLANO QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat (400 degrees F -200 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
• Lightly spray or brush poblano peppers with olive oil. Cook peppers on the preheated grill, turning every couple minutes, until charred and softened, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Remove peppers from the grill and place in a large resealable plastic bag to steam, about 15 minutes. Peel off the charred skins. Discard seeds and chop peppers.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add onion and cook for 1 minute more. Whisk in milk slowly and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, salt, paprika, pepper, red pepper flakes, and cayenne; whisk until the cheeses have melted and are blended in, about 5 minutes. Stir in chopped poblano peppers.
