Step 1
Char poblanos directly over a gas flame or under the broiler until blackened all over, about 4 minutes per side.
Step 2
Place charred peppers in a plastic bag for 5 minutes to steam. Peel away blackened skin, slit open, and remove seeds.
Step 3
Brown ground pork in a large skillet over medium-high, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in minced onion, jalapeño, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Stuff each poblano with a heaping spoonful of pork mixture. Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Pan-fry stuffed peppers 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Squeeze lime juice over the top and serve hot.
