For a smokier flavor, char the poblano pepper over an open flame before chopping.
A squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end brightens the flavors even more.
crumbled cotija cheese or queso fresco makes a delicious topping.
If you don't have fresh poblano, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder can be substituted.
For a richer dish, add a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
