Ingredients

Method

1
Roast the poblano peppers and sweet red peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler until the skins are charred and blistered on all sides, turning occasionally.
2
Place the roasted peppers in a plastic bag or covered bowl and let them steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
3
Peel away the charred skin from each pepper under cool running water, working carefully to remove all blackened spots while keeping the pepper flesh intact.
4
Gently cut a slit down one side of each pepper and carefully remove the seeds and ribs with your fingers or a small spoon, keeping the pepper whole.
5
Combine the cream cheese product, minced garlic, snipped fresh cilantro, lime juice, and ground red pepper in a bowl, stirring until well blended.
6
Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly down the center of each roasted pepper, dividing the mixture among all four peppers.
7
Roll each filled pepper gently from one side to enclose the filling, or fold the sides inward to create a bundle.
8
Arrange the roll-ups seam-side down on a serving plate and serve at room temperature or chilled.
