Let’s get started with this authentic Chiles Rellenos recipe! If there’s no poblano pepper available, you can opt for other peppers such as pasilla or Anaheim peppers, so gather your ingredients and make your favorite Mexican dish right away!

Ingredients:

• 6 Fresh Ancho/Pasilla/Anaheim Chiles, or 27 oz. can Poblano Peppers or Mild Whole Green Chiles

• 1/2 pound Oaxaca cheese (thinly sliced)

• 1/4 cup Flour

• 6 Raw eggs (separated)

• 2 cups Salsa Verde (Mexican green sauce)

• 2 cups Homestyle Mexican Salsa

• 1 cup Corn oil

• Salt or Mexican Seasoning

Instructions:

Step 1. Rinse the chiles.

Step 2. Preheat your oven to broil. In a 9 x 14 baking dish, place the chiles and bake.

Step 3. When the skins start to make popping sounds and to char and turn black in places, take the chiles out and flip them over. Remove from the oven when both sides are fairly evenly charred.

Step 4. In a moist paper towel or a sealed plastic bag, wrap each chile to steam. Check after a few minutes. Once the skin comes off easily, peel each chile.

Step 5. Cut a slit almost the full length of each chile. Make a small t across the top, by the stem. Pull out fibers and seeds (this is where the heat is), replacing with a slice of cheese. Set aside.

Step 6. With an electric mixer, whip the egg whites at high speed until stiff peaks have formed.

Step 7. In a skillet, heat the oil until a drop of water sizzles. Beat the egg yolks with one tablespoon flour and salt. Mix together yolks and egg whites, stirring until thick.

Step 8. In 1/4 cup flour, roll the chiles and dip each one in the egg batter. Coat evenly. Fry, seam side down on both sides until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Step 9. In a medium saucepan, heat the salsa. Place Rellenos on the plate and pour salsa over them. Serve them immediately.
