CHILES RELLENOS WITH CHEESE SAUCE
These chilies are filled with wonderful melted cheese and coated in a rich beaten egg mixture. Growing up in a state with no Latino population, I didn't taste these little beauties until I was 12 years old. It was love at first bite. I still love them and they're one of my favorite foods.

- ADD vegetable oil to 1-inch depth in medium skillet; heat over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Dip chilies in batter until well coated. Place in oil; fry, turning frequently with tongs, until golden brown. Remove from skillet; place on paper towels to drain.
- Place on serving plate and spoon cheese sauce over the top.
- Cheese sauce:.
- Heat and bubble 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp flour and 1/4 tsp salt. Add 1 cup milk. Heat and stir until thickened. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar or longhorn cheese and melt. If sauce becomes too thick, thin by stirring in a bit more milk.
