Pat M. brought these to my rughooker's semi-annual pot luck yesterday. I must say, I had more than my share. It was the best of this type of casserole/appetizer I have tried. Let stand for a few minutes to firm up and cut small for appetizers. May be served with Picante sauce on the side.

Tips:

- To make the perfect chile relleno squares, start with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Choose poblano peppers that are firm and have a deep green color. - When roasting the poblano peppers, be sure to let them cool completely before handling them. This will make them easier to peel and prevent them from breaking. - If you don't have an oven, you can roast the poblano peppers over a gas burner. Just be sure to keep a close eye on them so they don't burn. - When making the filling, be sure to use a good quality cheese. A Mexican blend or queso fresco are both good options. - If you want a spicier filling, you can add a few diced jalapeños or serrano peppers. - To make the batter, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. This will help the batter to be crispy and light. - Be sure to season the batter with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will add flavor to the chile relleno squares. - When frying the chile relleno squares, be sure to use a hot oil. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly. - Serve the chile relleno squares with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
