Ingredients

Stuffed Hatch Peppers

  • 6 hatch chiles
  • 8 ounce lump crab
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1/3 cup white onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 6 ounces monterey jack, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican seasoning blend
  • 1/4 cup cojita cheese

Lime Crema

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions

  • Roast your hatch chiles on a baking sheet under the broiler for about 5 minutes on each side, until blackened and blistered.
  • Once blistered, place them in a bowl and cover with a lid or a clean dish towel and allow to steam for 10 minutes. (This helps them peel easier.)
  • In the meantime, add the crab, corn, onion, bell pepper, Monterey Jack, and seasoning to a mixing bowl. Gently stir to combine. Set aside in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
  • Gently peel the skins from the hatch chiles, leaving the pepper intact. Carefully make a slit down the middle of each pepper for stuffing.
  • Gently add the crab filling to each pepper and place in a casserole dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Make the lime crema by mixing the lime juice and sour cream.
  • Drizzle the lime crema over the top of the chiles and sprinkle on the cojita cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
