Best Poblano Pepper Substitutes 

Poblano Pepper is a medium-sized chili pepper that is commonly used in Mexican cuisine, and also in American cuisine.

Its heat level ranges from mild to medium which makes it a versatile ingredient in many dishes. It has a slightly sweet and smoky flavor, making it a popular choice for stuffing and roasting.

Poblano Pepper is a staple in dishes like chili rellenos, enchiladas, and stews. If Poblano Pepper is unavailable, substitutes such as Bell Pepper, Anaheim Pepper, and Pasilla Pepper can be used in a 1:1 ratio in most recipes.

However, substitutes like Jalapeno Pepper or Cubanelle Pepper may need to be used in a different quantity as they are either hotter or milder in heat.
