Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
2 pounds green beans, trimmed and halved
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 poblano chile peppers, seeded and cut into short strips
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Pinch of cayenne pepper

4 cups tortilla chips
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the poblanos and onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are coated, about 1 minute.

Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pepper jack and stir until melted, then add the green beans and stir to coat. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish. (You can refrigerate the casserole, covered, for up to 4 hours.)
