You do not have to roast your own poblano peppers for this recipe! Go ahead and use a jar of roasted peppers if you can find them at the store. I know different stores carry different items and I want you to have options. I know when I have peppers fresh from the garden I will roast them but in the winter I grab a jar from the shelf.
