Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of coarse salt
3/4 cup lager beer
8 poblano chiles
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into eight 3-inch-long sticks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 2 garlic cloves)
2 cups corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Safflower oil, for frying
Sour cream, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and beer in a bowl. Refrigerate batter 1 hour (it will puff while chilling).
  • Place chiles directly over the flame of gas-stove burners on high heat. Roast, turning with tongs, until skins are charred and blistered. (Alternatively, broil chiles on a baking sheet, turning often, until skin is charred, taking care not to overcook. Otherwise, they will be difficult to peel, and flesh may be too soft to stuff.) When chiles are cool enough to handle, slip skins off.
  • Leaving stem intact, cut a slit into the side of each chile. Remove seedpod, then insert a stick of cheese.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add corn; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/4 cup of corn mixture into each chile, and close up with a toothpick.
  • Heat 1 inch oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Dip chiles in batter, and fry in batches (do not crowd skillet) until golden, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a bit of cheese to the filling for extra flavor. I also like to serve them with a dollop of sour cream and salsa.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chiles were cooked perfectly. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the roasted poblanos added a nice smoky flavor. I served them with a side of rice and beans, and they were a hit with my family.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. The poblano chiles were roasted perfectly and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I would recommend using a milder pepper if you don't like spicy food.
