Notes
How to Roast a Poblano Pepper: Grill whole poblano pepper for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from grill. Place in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 5 minutes. Remove pepper from bowl. The exterior skin of the poblano pepper should peel right off. Then it is ready to be used.
