Ingredients

Tomato Sauce for Stuffed Chiles
6 , large poblano chile kimmy, , roasted, and peeled
..........Click the Edit tab and select this entry to follow preparation instructions.
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic (medium), finely chopped
3 (15-ounce) cans small white beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/3 cup canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup , crumbled queso, fresco (fresh Mexican cheese) or mild feta cheese

Directions:

1. Prepare the tomato sauce. Reserve, covered, off heat. Prepare the chiles. Then, put 1 roasted and peeled chile on a work surface. Using a small sharp knife cut a slit to open the chile from the stem end to within 1-inch of the tip. Carefully cut out the seed pod and discard. Gently rinse under running water to wash out remaining seeds. Repeat with the remaining chiles.

2. In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat and cook the onion and garlic slowly, stirring frequently, until softened, but not browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans. With the back of a wooden spoon mash a few of the beans to help thicken the mixture. Add the oregano, thyme, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until the liquid is reduced and the beans hold their shape on a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. (Since the beans already contain sodium, more salt may not be needed.) Cool the beans in the pan.

3. Preheat oven to 350°. Spoon the filling equally into each prepared chile, packing well to reshape the chile. Place the filled chiles in a single layer, cut side up, in a rectangular baking pan. Cover with foil. Bake until completely heated through, about 25 minutes. Reheat the sauce and spoon over the top of each chile. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve.
