My husband and I entertain a lot in summer, and this has quickly become the most-requested dish. I usually serve it with Mexican rice and a tossed salad.

Ingredients

3 large poblano peppers
1-1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon aniseed, ground
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)

Directions

Cut each pepper in half and remove the seeds. Stuff peppers with cheese; set aside.
Combine the seasonings; rub over pork. Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat until a thermometer reads 145°, about 15 minutes. Place peppers over indirect heat; cook until peppers are tender and cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
