Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ancho chiles, wiped clean
4 cups water
2/3 cup cider vinegar
4 ounces piloncillo, grated
1 stick cinnamon, broken into pieces
1 teaspoon salt
Picadillo de Pollofilling
2 cups Mexican crema or creme fraiche
1 cup finely diced white onion
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slit an opening in each ancho from stem to tip, being careful not to tear the skin; carefully remove seeds and ribs, and discard.
  • Combine the water, vinegar, piloncillo, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add anchos; cover, and let stand 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Spoon filling into each chile; arrange in a baking dish. Bake chiles until heated through, about 15 minutes. Bring crema and onion to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 8 minutes. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl; stir in cilantro. Pour sauce over anchos, and serve.

I've never made chiles rellenos before, but this recipe made it easy. They turned out perfect! The chiles were crispy and the filling was creamy. The sauce was also delicious. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

These chiles rellenos are amazing! I love the combination of sweet and spicy. The sauce is perfect, not too thick and not too thin. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a disaster. The chiles rellenos were soggy and the sauce was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The chiles rellenos were bland and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chiles rellenos were good, but I found the sauce to be a bit too spicy. I would recommend using less chili powder or cayenne pepper in the sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chiles rellenos turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use less cheese in the filling. I found it to be a bit too cheesy for my taste.

This is a great recipe for chiles rellenos. The ancho chiles are a nice change from the usual poblano peppers. The filling is flavorful and the sauce is delicious. I would highly recommend this recipe.
