CHICKEN TAQUITOS WITH ROASTED POBLANO CHEESE SAUCE
Corn tortillas with a generous chicken filling are rolled up and fried into crunchy taquitos. Instead of the typical sour cream or salsa, we top these taquitos with a flavorful cheese sauce made with roasted poblano chiles and a splash of hot sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Put the poblano skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet and broil until the skin is wrinkled and charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the poblano to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 5 minutes. Run the poblano under cold water and remove and discard the skin. Cut the poblano into very small pieces and return to the bowl.
- Toss the chicken with the oil, chili powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Transfer to the baking sheet and broil, turning once, until browned in spots and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let cool for a few minutes, cut into chunks and transfer to a food processor. Add 1 cup of the cheese, half of the scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt; pulse until the mixture is coarse and holds together when squeezed.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir until the mixture is light brown, about 45 seconds. Whisk in the milk and cook, whisking until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 cup cheese. Stir in the chopped poblanos, hot sauce, garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside and keep warm.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp cloth and heat in the microwave for 1 minute so they are warm and pliable. Lay the tortillas out and spread 1/4 cup of the filling in the middle of each. Roll each up and secure with a toothpick. Push the filling into the ends a little so that it doesn't fall out.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, add half the taquitos and fry, turning as needed, until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining taquitos.
- Remove the toothpicks and arrange the taquitos on a serving platter. Drizzle with some of the cheese sauce and top with the remaining scallions.
POBLANO CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I've begun making my enchiladas casserole style, which saves a lot time, not to mention burned fingers. :) However, everyone still raves over my enchiladas, and this recipe recently earned a round of applause when I made them on a skiing holiday. The sauce is actually a modified Alfredo recipe and is also great over fajitas.

Tips:
- To easily remove the skin from the poblano peppers, roast them directly over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin blisters and blackens. Then, immediately place the peppers in a paper bag and let them steam for 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, the skin should peel off easily.
- To make the sour cream sauce, use full-fat sour cream for the best flavor and texture. You can also add other herbs and spices to the sauce, such as chopped cilantro, cumin, or chili powder.
- If you don't have any poblano peppers on hand, you can substitute another type of mild chili pepper, such as Anaheim or bell peppers.
- Serve the chicken with warm tortillas, rice, or beans. You can also top the chicken with additional sour cream, cheese, and salsa.
Conclusion:
This chicken with poblano chiles, sour cream, and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the poblano peppers add a mild heat that is balanced by the creamy sour cream sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
