Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray the bottom of a 9x13 ceramic or glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- Sauté the onion and poblanos (if not using poblanos just the onion) in the olive oil for 2-3 minutes in a medium sized skillet. When the onions are soft stir in the garlic and sauté another 30 seconds. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Add in the remaining ingredients, except the cheese, and stir together until well combined. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 100-110 minutes, stirring everything once during the baking time.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle on the cheese. Bake another 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped tomatoes, avocado and cilantro.
