BELL PEPPER RAJAS
I adopted this recipe. I found 9 baby sweet red, yellow, & orange peppers which I just cut in half seeded and stuffed. The peppers are very sweet and the cheese gives this a nice kick. Meanwhile the olives give this appetizer a nice saltiness.

Tips:
- Use a variety of bell peppers to add different flavors and colors to your dish. Red bell peppers are sweet and smoky, while green bell peppers are more mild and grassy. Yellow bell peppers are a good middle ground, with a slightly sweet flavor.
- If you don't have any poblano peppers, you can substitute another type of mild chili pepper, such as an Anaheim or New Mexico pepper.
- To remove the seeds from the poblano peppers, cut them in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and ribs.
- If you want your rajas con crema to be extra creamy, you can add a little bit of sour cream or heavy cream to the sauce.
- Serve rajas con crema with warm tortillas, rice, or beans.
Conclusion:
Rajas con crema is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover bell peppers and poblano peppers.
