Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm green chilies with deep color. Avoid any with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the green chilies directly over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is blackened and blistered. This will give the chilies a smoky flavor and make them easier to peel.
  • After roasting, immediately transfer the chilies to a paper bag or bowl covered with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10-15 minutes. This will make the skin easier to peel.
  • Once the chilies are cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skin. Be careful not to touch your eyes or nose, as the chili oils can irritate them.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the chilies. This will help to reduce the heat level of the stuffing.
  • Use a variety of fillings for your green chili stuffing. Some popular options include ground beef, turkey, pork, or beans. You can also add vegetables, cheese, and spices to your liking.
  • To make the stuffing, simply combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Then, stuff the chili peppers with the mixture and bake them in a preheated oven until cooked through.

Conclusion:

Green chili stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover green chilies, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying green chili stuffing that your family and friends will love.
