Greg....Found New Mexico Hatch peppers at our local supermarket yesterday! Am going to have the following for dinner....

Grilled Stuffed Hatch Peppers

8 Hatch peppers, sliced lengthwise and seeds removed
2 Chicken Breasts seasoned with fajita seasoning
1 can, 14-5 oz, refried beans
1 cup Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
1 12-oz jar of salsa (optional)

1. Place peppers skin side down on hot grill, 2 to 3 minutes until pepper skin is charred, Remove from grill; set aside.
2. Grill chicken breast until fully cooked, about 8 minutes per side.
3. While chicken is cooking, peel blackened skins off pepper halves and rinse under cold water; pat dry. Spread 2 tablespoons of refried beans on each pepper half and set aside.
4. Chop chicken and combine with shredded cheese in a bowl. Stuff 8 pepper halves with 1/3 cup chicken cheese mixture (press chicken mixture into pepper), top with matching pepper half and press together.
5. Arrange stuffed peppers on a sheet of heavy-duty foil and place on grill. Cover grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until cheese melts. Top with 2 tablespoons salsa...and...

ENJOY!
