Ingredients

  1. 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  2. 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  3. Kosher salt
  4. 1 small red onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
  5. 2 small radishes, thinly sliced
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  7. 4 large poblano peppers, stemmed, halved lengthwise and seeded
  8. 1 pound ground pork
  9. 2 cloves garlic, grated
  10. 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  11. 2 teaspoons chili powder
  12. 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  13. 6 ounces shredded jack cheese
  14. Cilantro leaves and tender stems, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Position a rack on the top of the oven and preheat to broil.
  2. Combine the vinegar, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/3 cup warm water in a mason jar. Cover and shake to combine until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add the onions and radishes and set aside. 
  3. Drizzle the oil over the peppers, season with 1 teaspoon salt and arrange on a baking sheet cut-side up. Broil on the upper rack of the oven until blistered and softened, 4 to 6 minutes.  
  4. Mix together the pork, garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook, breaking up the pork into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain the excess fat and set aside to cool.  
  5. Stir half of the cheese into the pork. Distribute the mixture evenly in the cavities of the peppers. Top with remaining cheese and broil until melted and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.  
  6. Top with the pickled onions and radishes. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
