Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium poblano peppers
4 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup milk
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) package queso fresco
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Roast peppers on the top rack of the preheated oven until the skins are charred, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and allow to cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Set the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • While peppers are cooling, whisk eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth. Slice the queso fresco into eight even rectangles, just shorter than the length of the peppers.
  • Carefully peel off the waxy skin of the cooled peppers. Gently cut a slit down the length of the peppers and use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes.
  • Spread about 1/4 cup of the milk mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Wrap each pepper around a queso fresco rectangle. Place each chile/cheese wrap seam-side down in a single layer in the baking dish. Cover with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the egg mixture has risen and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CHILI RELLENOS



Authentic Mexican Chili Rellenos image

This is an authentic Mexican recipe that has been handed down for generations in my family.

Provided by Kentucky Guera

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 fresh Anaheim chile peppers
1 (8 ounce) package queso asadero (white Mexican cheese), cut into 3/4-inch thick strips
2 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable shortening for frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers onto the prepared baking sheet, and cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Turn the peppers often to blacken all sides. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Rinse cooled peppers under cold water to peel off the skins, and cut a slit along the long side of each pepper to remove the seeds and core. Rinse the peppers inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the peppers with strips of the cheese.
  • Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with the baking powder. In a second metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Place flour into a shallow bowl.
  • Heat the vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, tap off excess flour, and dip the peppers into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot shortening. Fry peppers until lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • To ensure the peppers are evenly cooked, make sure they are all about the same size.
  • If you can't find poblano peppers, you can substitute another type of mild chili pepper, such as Anaheim or bell peppers.
  • To make sure the peppers are soft enough to be easily stuffed, roast them until the skin is blistered and blackened.
  • Once the peppers are roasted, immediately place them in a paper bag to steam for 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to peel the skin off.
  • To make the filling, you can use any type of ground meat that you like. Beef, pork, chicken, or turkey are all good options.
  • If you want to add a bit of spice to the filling, you can add some chopped chili peppers or cayenne pepper.
  • To make the cheese sauce, you can use any type of cheese that you like. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella are all good options.
  • To make sure the cheese sauce is smooth, whisk it constantly over medium heat until it is melted and creamy.
  • Once the pie is assembled, bake it in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese sauce is bubbly.
  • Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
