Padrón Peppers Stuffed with Tetilla Cheese

This would be an excellent dish served tapas-style, alongside empanadas, salad, and other Spanish small plates. Or serve it as a stand-alone appetizer. Padrón peppers can sometimes be found at farmers’ markets or online (try La Tienda); as a substitute, shishito peppers can be found at some farmers’ markets or Japanese markets. If you aren’t able to locate either variety, mini bell peppers could be used.
