Step 1
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place poblanos directly on the hot surface.
Step 2
Char poblanos 3-4 minutes per side until skin blackens and blisters all over. Rotate with tongs.
Step 3
Transfer charred peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and rest 5 minutes to steam.
Step 4
Rub off the blackened skin under running water. Remove stem and seeds. Slice into strips.
Step 5
Return skillet to medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
Step 6
Add poblano strips and crema. Stir gently and cook until sauce coats the peppers, 2 minutes.
