For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of olive oil. If you prefer a milder dish, remove the seeds and veins from the poblano pepper more thoroughly, or substitute with a bell pepper. To make it a main course, add grilled chicken or shrimp. Serve with warm tortillas for a complete and satisfying meal.
