Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 poblano peppers
8 Colby Jack cheese sticks (1 ounce each) or 8 ounces Colby Jack cheese, cut into 1-inch pieces
One 10-ounce can enchilada sauce
8 large eggs
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Roast the poblanos over an open flame or under the broiler until charred all over, turning as necessary, about 8 minutes. Put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam and loosen the skin, about 5 minutes. When cooled, remove the stems and run under cold water to peel off the blackened outer skin and remove the seeds.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put 1 piece Colby Jack cheese in the center of each pepper. Pour half of enchilada sauce into an 8-inch square baking dish. Put half of the cheese-filled peppers on top of the enchilada sauce. Repeat with the remaining sauce and peppers.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl until very frothy. Whisk in the Cheddar, milk, flour and baking powder. Gently pour the mixture over the peppers and sauce in the baking dish.
  • Bake until the casserole is set in the center and golden brown all over, about 1 hour. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Time 1h21m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 large poblano peppers, halved and seeded
1 ½ pounds ground beef, or to taste
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large onion, chopped
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
cooking spray
3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until poblano pepper skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, paprika, chipotle pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add onion; cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with green chiles; cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes more. Let beef mixture cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Run water over the poblano peppers to remove skins and discard them. Drain peppers on paper towels. Place a layer of peppers on the bottom of the prepared dish; place 1/3 of the beef mixture on top. Cover with 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend. Repeat layers twice more in the same order.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 35 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Poblano peppers are the traditional choice for chile rellenos, but you can also use Anaheim or bell peppers. Look for peppers that are large and firm, with smooth skin and no blemishes.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast the peppers over an open flame, on a grill, or in a broiler. Just be sure to keep a close eye on them so they don't burn.
  • Peel the peppers carefully: Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling them. Use a sharp knife to carefully slit the peppers open and remove the seeds and ribs. Be careful not to tear the peppers.
  • Stuff the peppers with a flavorful filling: There are many different fillings you can use for chile rellenos. Some popular choices include cheese, beans, rice, and vegetables. You can also add meat, such as ground beef or chicken.
  • Cook the chile rellenos until golden brown: Once the peppers are stuffed, you can cook them in a variety of ways. You can fry them, bake them, or grill them. Be sure to cook them until they are golden brown and crispy.

Chile rellenos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this classic Mexican dish at home.
