With this recipe, the classic appetizer is reimagined as a spicy cheesy skillet—from which you can scoop your own taco filling. Roasted poblanos, jalapeños, and red onion make up the base, coated with a melty sauce made of pepper jack cheese and stabilizing cream cheese. Serve tortillas, cilantro, and lime wedges on the side to make it a hands-on meal.
