Poblano peppers can be a bit hit or miss. Sometimes they are really spicy and other times they are almost as mild as green bell peppers. This is one of those great moments when tasting is everything. If it's too mild, you can add a bit of cayenne pepper. Start with 1/8th teaspoon at a time (for two servings) and build up from there.
