I love unique recipes like this, so I had to try it as soon as I saw this. It was really good! The creaminess of the goat cheese combines perfectly with the mild spiciness of the poblanos. I did not serve this with mango salsa, but instead served a jicama and mandarin orange salad on the side. It made for an overall great meal. Thanks for sharing.
