Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ancho chiles, wiped clean
4 cups water
2/3 cup cider vinegar
4 ounces piloncillo, grated
1 stick cinnamon, broken into pieces
1 teaspoon salt
Picadillo de Pollofilling
2 cups Mexican crema or creme fraiche
1 cup finely diced white onion
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slit an opening in each ancho from stem to tip, being careful not to tear the skin; carefully remove seeds and ribs, and discard.
  • Combine the water, vinegar, piloncillo, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add anchos; cover, and let stand 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Spoon filling into each chile; arrange in a baking dish. Bake chiles until heated through, about 15 minutes. Bring crema and onion to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 8 minutes. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl; stir in cilantro. Pour sauce over anchos, and serve.

I accidentally used regular chili powder instead of ancho chili powder, but the dish still turned out pretty good.

I was a bit disappointed with these chiles rellenos. The filling was a bit bland and the coating was too thick.

The crispy coating on these chiles rellenos was the best part. It was so flavorful and it held up really well.
