Description
A beloved dish from Mexico, Chiles Rellenos are large poblano peppers that are roasted and peeled, stuffed with cheese (or sometimes a meat filling), coated in a light and airy egg batter, and fried until golden brown. They are often served smothered in a simple tomato sauce. The combination of the smoky, mild chili, the gooey melted cheese, and the fluffy batter is simply irresistible. It’s a true taste of authentic Mexican cuisine.
