CLASSIC CHILI RELLENOS WITH ANAHEIM PEPPERS



Classic Chili Rellenos With Anaheim Peppers image

Anaheim's are very popular in Southwestern US Cuisine.Also called "New Mexican Chile". These were developed by Dr. Fabian Garcia in New Mexico about 100 yrs ago who was seeking a chile pepper that was bigger, fleshier, and milder. They got the name "Anaheim" when a farmer named Emilio Ortega brought these seeds to the Anaheim area in the early 1900's. This chile can be roasted and peeled and used in recipes or stuffed to make chile rellenos just as the Poblano Chile. Adapted from a Chili site.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CHILI RELLENOS



Authentic Mexican Chili Rellenos image

This is an authentic Mexican recipe that has been handed down for generations in my family.

Provided by Kentucky Guera

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 fresh Anaheim chile peppers
1 (8 ounce) package queso asadero (white Mexican cheese), cut into 3/4-inch thick strips
2 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable shortening for frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers onto the prepared baking sheet, and cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Turn the peppers often to blacken all sides. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Rinse cooled peppers under cold water to peel off the skins, and cut a slit along the long side of each pepper to remove the seeds and core. Rinse the peppers inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the peppers with strips of the cheese.
  • Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with the baking powder. In a second metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Place flour into a shallow bowl.
  • Heat the vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, tap off excess flour, and dip the peppers into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot shortening. Fry peppers until lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

CHILI RELLENOS CASSEROLE



Chili Rellenos Casserole image

I fell in LOVE with Chili Rellenos while living in Texas, but hated the work that went into making them. This casserole gives you all the yummy deliciousness of Chili Rellenos with less work. You COULD use canned chilis for a quicker prep...but please don't. Trust me - the fresh flavor of roasted poblanos is worth the extra...

Provided by Denise LeDoux

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 large poblano peppers, roasted
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 can(s) rotel tomatoes (10 oz can), (original or hot)
2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp cumin, divided
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 c 4-cheese mexican blend, shredded
2 large eggs, beaten
1 can(s) evaporated milk (5 oz can)
1/2 c whole (or 2%) milk
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 can(s) tomato sauce (8 oz can)
1 c sharp cheddar, finely shredded (or more mexican blend)

Steps:

  • 1. Roast poblano peppers under the broiler, making sure to roast on all sides, until skin is blistered and slightly blackened. Place peppers in zip lock for 20-30 minutes for easier peeling. Peppers will steam and cool and skin will peel off easily. Remove seeds and set aside.
  • 2. While waiting to peel peppers, brown ground beef. Add diced onion, Rotel tomatoes, salt, pepper, and 2 tsps cumin. Cook until onions are wilted and liquid has cooked out. Remove from heat. Add Mexican blend cheese, stir until melted, and set aside.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350. Line bottom of ungreased 9" x 13" baking dish with half of the roasted peppers, opening them and laying them out in a single layer. Spoon ground beef filling over poblanos, spreading to form an even layer. Cover ground beef layer with remaining poblanos in a single layer.
  • 4. Beat the eggs. Wisk in the evaporated milk and regular milk. Wisk in the flour. Pour egg mixture over top layer of poblanos and bake for 30 minutes. (Egg mixture will be very thin liquid until it begins to set while baking.)
  • 5. Remove casserole from oven after 30 minutes. Mix tomato sauce with 1/2 tsp cumin and spread over top of casserole. Return to oven for 15 minutes.
  • 6. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over casserole and return to oven for 3 minutes, or just until cheese is melted. Enjoy!

EASY CHILI RELLENOS CASSEROLE



Easy Chili Rellenos Casserole image

This recipe is from The Winchester Star newspaper, Winchester, Virginia, from about 1995. This dish has the flavors of chili rellenos, without trouble of stuffing, dipping in batter, and frying, and a lot less fat! It's great as a side dish with tacos or mexican chicken. I have served it cut in 1" squares as an appetizer at a party, and it was a hit! I often double it, bake in a 9 X 13 pan, and take to covered dish suppers. If you wish to use fresh chilis, use 3 large mild banana peppers or anaheim chilis, roasted, peeled and seeded.

BAKED VEGAN CHILI RELLENOS RECIPE - (3.6/5)



Baked Vegan Chili Rellenos Recipe - (3.6/5) image

Provided by raklisa2020

Number Of Ingredients 22

Ingredients:
6 large Poblano chilies
Non-dairy cheddar, mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese (we used pepper jack from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook).
1/2 cup soy milk
1 cup panko breadcrumbs, organic corn starch, whole wheat flour or organic corn meal, the finer the better (we used organic corn meal)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
Chili Relleno Sauce
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 cup white whole wheat flour or organic corn starch
1-1/2 cups ripe chopped tomatoes
2 jalapeño peppers, seeds removed and chopped
4 cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt
1-1/2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large bay leaf

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Broil the chilies until the skins brown and pucker. Place the peppers in a brown paper bag to cool; then peel while still warm. Cut a 3-inch slit in each chili and remove the seeds, if desired. Stuff each chili with cheese. Pour the soy milk in a shallow bowl. Spread the panko/corn starch/flour corn meal on a plate or a shallow bowl. Add the spices and mix well. Dip the chilies in the panko/corn starch/flour/corn meal mixture, then the milk and then the panko/corn starch/flour/corn meal mixture again. Place the chilies on the prepared baking sheet and bake 25 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown (I flipped the chilies the last 5 minutes to brown on the other side). Chili Relleno Sauce- Chop the onion and garlic together in a food processor. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Sauté the onion and garlic mixture in the oil until translucent and golden. Add the flour or corn starch to the sauté mixture, spreading the mixture evenly as it cooks, until a deep golden color. Place the mixture into the food processor with the tomatoes and jalapeño pepper; process until smooth. Pour the pureed mixture back into the saucepan. Stir in the water, salt, Mexican oregano, black pepper, cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, while whisking. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about an hour, whisking occasionally, until the desired consistency is reached. Cover, slightly vented so the steam can escape. Keep the sauce warm over lowest heat, whisking occasionally, until served.

CHILI RELLENOS SANDWICH



Chili Rellenos Sandwich image

This is good with salsa, sour cream and guacamole for dipping.

Provided by Diane Rodriguez

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 can(s) chopped green chilis, drained (4 oz can)
6 slice good bread
6 slice monterey jack cheese
2 eggs
1 c milk
2-4 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Mash chilies with a fork and spread on 3 slices of bread. Top with cheese and remaining bread.
  • 2. In a shallow bowl, beat eggs and milk; dip sandwiches in milk mixture.
  • 3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet and cook sandwiches until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melty, adding additional butter if necessary.

Tips:

  • To remove the veins and seeds from the poblano peppers, first roast them over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is blistered. Then, place them in a paper bag or a bowl covered with plastic wrap and let them steam for 10-15 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, the veins and seeds will come out easily.
  • If you don't have any fresh poblano peppers, you can use canned ones. Just be sure to rinse them well and drain them before using.
  • You can adjust the spiciness of the chili rellenos by using milder or hotter peppers. If you're using canned peppers, you can also rinse them with cold water to remove some of the heat.
  • Be careful not to overfill the peppers with the cheese and rice mixture. They should be filled about 2/3 full, so that there is room for them to expand during frying.
  • When frying the chili rellenos, be sure to use a deep fryer or a large pot with at least 3 inches of oil. The oil should be heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the peppers.
  • Fry the chili rellenos in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot, or the oil temperature will drop and the peppers will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the chili rellenos immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Chili rellenos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are a great way to use up leftover rice and cheese, and they can be made with a variety of different fillings. Whether you like your chili rellenos mild or spicy, there is a recipe out there to suit your taste. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give chili rellenos a try!
