Remove the stem and seeds from the Anaheim peppers before roasting them.

Turn the stove to high and place the peppers on a rack to char them.

Char the peppers for about 3 minutes, turning them to ensure even charring.

Place the charred peppers in a ziploc bag and let them steam for 20 minutes.

In a skillet, heat 1.5 tablespoons of avocado oil and add 1 cup of jasmine rice, toasting it until golden.

Add 2-3 pieces of onion and 1 ground garlic clove to the rice, along with 1/4 cup of water.

Stir until the water evaporates, then add 2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of chicken flavored tomato bullion.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid for 12-20 minutes until water is absorbed and dimples appear on the surface.

Remove the skin from the Anaheim peppers after steaming, ensuring no seeds remain inside.

Stuff the peppers with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, closing them up like tacos and placing them in a 9x13 dish face down.

Prepare the salsa by blending 5 Roma tomatoes, 1 chopped jalapeno, 3 large garlic cloves, 1/2 medium onion, 2 tablespoons chicken bullion tomato flavored, 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, salt, pepper, and 1/3 cup of water.

In a hot skillet, add avocado oil and pour in the blended salsa, simmering on low for 5 minutes.

Chop one of the roasted Anaheim peppers and add it to the simmering salsa.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Pour the salsa over the stuffed Anaheim peppers in the baking dish and top with additional chopped Anaheim pepper and cheese.
