Sargento® 4 Cheese Mexican Blend
Corn tortillas
Poblano peppers
Chicken thighs

The dish may contain other ingredients, but the above must be the focus. Needless to say, I was very excited to see the contents of this virtual chopped basket. Creating a Mexican-inspired dish using some of my favorite ingredients would be a fun challenge!…
