To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut a slit down the length of each poblano chile and remove the seeds and membranes. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper and cook until the onion is soft. Stir in the cooked rice and shredded cheese.

While the chiles are baking, make the chipotle cream sauce. In a blender, combine the heavy cream, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
