Categories     Peppers

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 fresh green chilies (stems intact, roasted and peeled)
1 lb cheddar cheese or 1 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded
3 eggs
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup oil
2 cups provolone cheese (or all mixed) or 2 cups monterey jack cheese (or all mixed)

Steps:

  • Stuff each chile with cheese, and set aside.
  • Separate eggs and beat the whites until stiff. Beat yolks and fold into whites, along with flour, salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Dip stuffed chiles, one at a time, into egg batter, then remove with a large spoon. Carefully lower coated chiles into hot oil, 3 or 4 at a time. Fry until golden brown on both sides. The chiles may be made ahead to this point.
  • To serve immediately, arrange on platter or individual plates and pour warm Taco Sauce over each chile. Garnish with more cheese and run under broiler to melt cheese, if desired.
  • May be made in advance up to the point of topping with cheese, and reheated in a 400-degree oven about 10 minutes.

Not bad, but not great either. The chiles rellenos were a bit dry and the sauce was bland.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The chiles rellenos are always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect complement. I highly recommend this recipe!

My family loved these chiles rellenos! The flavors were amazing, and the poblano peppers were perfectly roasted and tender. The only thing I would change is to use less cheese next time, as it was a bit too rich for my taste.
