Chili Relleno


Chili Rellenos are amazing. You can use poblano peppers or the cubanelles. I stuff mine with the queso blanco or a good mozzarella. The trick to to fire char them to get the skin to peel off. I don't coat mine in egg or cornmeal, which is traditional. This way you save on the calories but really get the intended flavor of the chili.

Ingredients:
  • Peppers
  • Cheese
  • Hot sauce or enchilada sauce

Directions:
  • Put pepper directly over flame until blackened
  • Rotate until entire pepper is charred
  • Place pepper in a plastic bag (this will help steam it and make pulling the skin off easier)
  • Peel pepper
  • Cut open pepper and discard seeds
  • Fill with sliced cheese
  • Bake in pan
  • Cover with enchilade or hot sauce

Enjoy!
