Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

In a 12-inch cast iron skillet or large oven safe skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and poblano pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the beans, salsa verde, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Add the rice and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. Top with remaining 1 cup of cheese.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 2 minutes or until cheese is browned. Watch it closely.

Step 7

Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro, avocado, and green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips, if desired.
