Steps

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic for eight minutes.
Add the beef, tomatoes, water, cumin, salt, and pepper, then cook for twelve minutes until the beef reaches 160 F.
Stir in the peas and cook for three minutes, then cool the filling for five minutes.
Slit the roasted poblanos, remove the seeds, fill them with the beef mixture, and close the openings.
Coat each pepper with flour, then dip it into the beaten egg yolks and whites mixed with salt.
