Step 1
Char the poblanos directly over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning often, until blackened all over, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic, and let steam 3 minutes. Peel off the skin under cool running water.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown ground pork, breaking it up, about 5 minutes until no pink remains.
Step 4
Stir in diced onion and jalapeño, cooking 2 minutes until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Carefully slit each poblano lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Stuff with warm pork mixture, then top with shredded cheese.
Step 6
Drizzle crema over the chiles, scatter cilantro, and serve immediately.
