Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 stuffed chiles

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion or 2 green onions, chopped
1/2 clove garlic, chopped
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups cooking oil
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 garlic clove
Half a 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes
Pinch cumin
12 poblano chiles
Shredded white cheese, for serving
Chopped Fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • For the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Next add the onions and garlic; stir for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the filling is dry, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • For the salsa ranchero: Heat the oil in a skillet until hot. Add the tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are browned, about 2 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes and simmer until the sauce is lumpy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • For the poblanos: Roast the poblanos over a gas flame, turning until blistered and slightly charred all over. Place in a heavy plastic bag and set aside for 10 to 20 minutes to steam. Scrape the skin off the poblanos. Carefully make a lengthwise slit in each poblano and remove the seeds and membranes; rinse and drain well, using paper towels to pat the poblanos dry.
  • Stuff the poblanos with the filling and top with salsa ranchero. Before serving, garnish with shredded cheese and cilantro.

1 1/2 cups flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon
12 ounces beer
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
1 clove minced garlic
1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels
Fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated monterey jack
6 poblanos, charred and peeled
Corn oil, for frying
Sour cream, as accompaniment

  • To serve place on large dish and serve with sour cream and lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose poblano peppers that are firm, deep green in color, and have smooth skin.
  • Roasting the poblano peppers helps to bring out their flavor and make them easier to peel.
  • If you don't have an oven, you can roast the poblano peppers on a grill or over an open flame.
  • Be careful when handling the peppers, as the oils can irritate your skin and eyes.
  • If you're making the poblano rellenos ahead of time, you can stuff them and then freeze them. When you're ready to serve, thaw them in the refrigerator and then bake them.

Conclusion:
