Instead of tortillas, these gluten free enchiladas are made with enchilada spiced ground beef stuffed in roasted poblano peppers & covered in the most delicious homemade red enchilada sauce!
I’ve been wanting to make a new stuffed pepper recipe for a while now, and last week, it finally happened!
I decided to make Stuffed Pepper Enchiladas, subbing tortillas for roasted poblano peppers. This is a great way to make enchiladas gluten-free, healthier and with less carbs!
I’ve been making my own gluten-free red enchilada sauce since 2012. It always receives rave reviews and I’m excited to introduce another recipe today utilizing this delicious sauce!
If you’re looking for a slightly spicy, totally flavorful, gluten free dinner recipe, this is the one for you!

How To Make Stuffed Poblano Enchiladas
- Turn the broiler on the oven to high.
- Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet under the broiler.
- Roast for 5 minutes per side or until black and bubbling.
- Remove the peppers from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Turn the oven from the broiler to bake at 350°F.
- Add the ground beef to a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook through, then drain any grease.
- Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.
- Pour the beef broth over the seasoned ground beef.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Slice a large slit down the middle of one side of each poblano pepper (be sure not to cut through the other side of the pepper.)
- Remove the seeds from the middle of the pepper.
Spoon the ground beef into the peppers and place in a large casserole dish.
Pour the enchilada sauce over the stuffed peppers then sprinkle the cheese over the top.
Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Serve with your choice of toppings.
The enchiladas have a nice spice to them, so cooling them down with something like sour cream or a simple Avocado Cream Sauce is a great idea!
I topped them with a drizzle of Litehouse Cotija Cilantro Dressing (a personal fav!)
