CHEESY CHILE STRATA



Cheesy Chile Strata image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 poblano chile peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 bunch medium spring onions, stems cut into 2-inch pieces, bulbs quartered
1/4 cup masa harina (instant corn flour) or all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying (3 to 4 cups)
10 corn tortillas, cut into 2-inch pieces
8 ounces Oaxaca or muenster cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
8 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
8 large eggs
3 cups whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Sour cream, chopped jalapenos and/or chopped cilantro, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Arrange the poblanos skin-side up on a baking sheet. Add the spring onions and broil until the poblano skins are charred and the onions are blackened around the edges, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer the poblanos to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a plate and let cool 10 minutes. Rub off the skins with your fingers, then pat dry. Roughly chop the poblanos and onion bulbs, then toss with the masa harina in a medium bowl; set aside while you fry the tortillas.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the tortillas, stirring, until stiff but not browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towels to drain.
  • Spread half of the fried tortillas in a 3-quart baking dish. Top with half of the poblano-onion mixture and half of each cheese. Layer the remaining tortillas, poblano-onion mixture and cheeses on top.
  • Whisk the eggs and milk in a large bowl; whisk in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, pepper to taste and the chili powder. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the dish from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking and uncover. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until the strata is lightly puffed and golden on top and just set in the center, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream, jalapenos and/or cilantro.

TORTILLA WRAPPED GREEN CHILE BURGER



Tortilla Wrapped Green Chile Burger image

Provided by Aaron May

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 large bell peppers, red, yellow or green
4 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
12 ounces beer, preferably pale ale
Two 4-ounce cans diced green chiles, mild or hot
One 12-ounce jar pickled jalapeno slices
2 pounds ground 80/20 chuck
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 slices pepper jack cheese
Four 10-inch flour tortillas
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • For the green chile gravy: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Drizzle the bell peppers with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the peppers on a sheet tray and roast until charred and soft, about 15 minutes. Let cool until cool enough to handle, then peel, core, seed and roughly chop. Set aside.
  • Add the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until it starts to turn into a roux and no longer looks raw. Add the beer, the canned chiles, roasted bell peppers and 4 to 5 pickled jalapeno slices. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and puree in a blender (see Cook's Note). Taste and adjust for seasoning. Set aside.
  • For the burgers: Preheat a griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal patties and sprinkle aggressively with salt and pepper. Place on the hot griddle and cook until the juices start to form on the tops of the patties, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the patties and cover each with 2 slices pepper jack cheese. Cook until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Place a tortilla on a flat surface and place a patty in the center, cheese-side down. Fold the tortilla around the burger, like an empanada. Flip and place on a sheet pan, seam-side down. Top with another slice of pepper jack cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and patties. Place in the oven to melt the cheese on top, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the burgers from the oven and top with a generous amount of the green chile sauce. Garnish with the sour cream, more pickled jalapenos and shredded iceberg lettuce.
