• 1. Preheat the broiler to high broil. Set the rack 6 inches from the heating element. Place the poblano pepper on a baking sheet and broil for 4 minutes on each side, or until the skin is blistered and rising up. Remove from the oven and wrap loosely in foil and allow to steam for 10 minutes.

Drain the grease from the skillet, using a paper towel to soak up any extra grease.

• 4. Add the chicken stock, taco seasoning, cayenne pepper, diced poblano peppers, black beans, corn, cilantro, cream cheese, and chives to the skillet. Cook and stir until it is creamy. Taste and add salt and pepper as you feel is needed. Remove from heat.
• 5. Choose a casserole dish that is at least 2 1/2 inches to 3 inches deep and can hold 2 stacks of 5 inch corn tortillas. Otherwise, make two separate casserole dishes. Spray with non-stick oil and place 2 corn tortillas (making 2 stacks) in the casserole dish. Spread 1/4th of the meat mixture on top of the two tortillas. Top with 1/4 of the cheese.
