Garnish with bacon crumbles and green onions.
*When handling chiles, wear plastic gloves. **To Roast Chiles: Cut jalapeno and poblano chiles in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. Place chiles skin sides up on a foil-lined baking sheet and use a gloved hand to flatten. Place under broiler until skins blister and char (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from broiler and place in a small bowl; cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 15-20 minutes until skin loosens. Peel chiles under running water to remove skins.
