Notes
- Green poblanos are less spicy that red poblanos so choose according to your desired taste preference.
- Use any cheese you'd like. Monterey Jack, pepper jack, Colby or Mozzarella are good alternatives.
- Use precooked bacon and microwave it until crispy or cook your own bacon either on the stove top or baking the bacon in the oven.
- Add 1 cup of cooked chicken. A rotisserie chicken or canned chicken is great to use.
- Add a can of drained sweet corn or a cup of frozen corn.
- Add 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing mix or ranch dressing itself.
