Comments:
Using the air fryer to roast the skins off made them a touch too soft to hold together, so next time I will road the chilies over the gas flame like I normally do.
Serving Suggestions:
Ingredients:
4 poblano peppers
Cooking spray
8 oz. lean ground pork
¾ cup diced zucchini
½ cup chopped white onion
½ cup rinsed canned black beans
1 tbs. chili powder
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground pepper
½ cup sour cream

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish

½ cup crumbled cotija cheese

Tortilla chips & salsa verde for serving (optional)

Instructions:
Lightly coat poblanos with cooking spray. Arrange in a single layer in the basket of a 6-quart air fryer. Cook at 400°F, flipping once, until the skins are charred, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes. (or just toast them over a gas flame and they will be 'less cooked.'

Meanwhile, cook pork, zucchini and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring and breaking up the pork with a wooden spoon, until the pork is cooked through and the zucchini is tender, 5 to 8 minutes.

Add black beans, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and cilantro.

Carefully peel the skin from the peppers and cut a slit, lengthwise, down one side of each pepper; remove and discard seeds.

Gently stuff the peppers with the pork mixture. Carefully arrange the peppers in the air-fryer basket (they'll be delicate). Cook at 400°F until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Top the stuffed chiles with cotija. Sprinkle with additional cilantro, if desired. Serve with chips and salsa, if desired.
