Kosher salt
2 pounds green beans, trimmed and halved
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 poblano chile peppers, seeded and cut into short strips
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups half-and-half

Tips:

  • Select fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and free from blemishes or bruises.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any tough strings that run along the sides.
  • Blanch the green beans: This step is optional but recommended if you want to preserve the beans'鮮豔色 and crisp texture. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the beans. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Tex-Mex green beans are typically seasoned with a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic, and onion. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, oregano, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the method you are using. If you are boiling the beans, cook them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm. If you are stir-frying the beans, cook them for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the green beans immediately: Tex-Mex green beans are best served hot, as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Tex-Mex green beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy Tex-Mex dish, give these green beans a try!
