CHILES RELLENOS CASSEROLE



Chiles Rellenos Casserole image

I adopted this from the Recipezaar account. It was good as is, but I had to make a couple changes for it to work for me. Came out a little runny (maybe because I used skim milk), so may need some additional adjustment. I would probably change out the mozzarella for Monterey jack or a Mexican cheese next time also. Good served with sour cream.

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.

  • To make the perfect chile relleno casserole, it's important to start with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for poblano peppers that are firm and have a deep green color.
  • When roasting the poblano peppers, be sure to char the skin evenly. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them easier to peel.
  • Once the peppers are roasted, it's important to remove the seeds and veins. This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers and make them more palatable.
  • When making the filling, be sure to use a combination of cooked meat, vegetables, and cheese. This will help to create a flavorful and satisfying dish.
  • When assembling the casserole, be sure to layer the ingredients evenly. This will help to ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Before baking the casserole, top it with a layer of cheese. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the chile relleno casserole hot, with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
