With a prep/cook time of 25-30 minutes, this is the perfect meal to create at a moment's notice.

1. Begin by preheating the oven to 425º(F) Slice your poblano peppers in half (longways), carefully removing all the seeds. On a single layer, non-stick baking sheet layout your peppers. Be sure to space them out evenly, placing them with the inside facing up.
2. Now, using a food processor (or a blender will work as well), combine the pinto beans, feta cheese, and cream cheese. Blend these together until you achieve a smooth, rich consistency. Next, mix in the chopped bell peppers, a ¼ cup of the shredded white cheddar cheese, and green scallions. Mix these in by hand. Once everything is folded in, your filling is complete and ready to go.
3. Using a spoon, scoop your filling into the open pepper halves. It’s okay to be generous with the filling, but be careful not to over stuff. Go ahead and sprinkle the rest of the cheddar onto your stuffed peppers. (If you feel like splurging, go ahead and add some extra cheese).
4. By now your oven should be pre-heated, so throw these plump poblanos in, and bake until the cheese turns a nice golden brown. This usually takes between 15 and 18 minutes.
5. While they bake, you can chop your cilantro. When ready, remove from oven to season with black pepper, and a healthy helping of cilantro. Let cool for about 10 minutes, and your precious peppers are ready to serve!
