From the Test Kitchen

The vibrant, smoky flavor of poblano stars two ways in this dish: before baking, we’re loading the fresh peppers with tender beef and carrots, which are also sautéed in ancho chile paste, a specialty condiment made from dried, smoked poblanos. A topping of crisp radishes and juicy tomatoes brings bright contrast to the dish.
