Chile Rellenos are a classic Mexican recipe of poblano peppers stuffed with your favorite filling, then layered on top of a delicious homemade tomato sauce. A classic dish that’s comfort food at its finest!

  CLASSIC &   DELICIOUS!

What you need:

Poblano chiles, eggs, prepared tomato consomé

Place the peppers on the baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes or until the skin is charred. Peel them by pulling the skin off with your fingers.

1

Roast

Fill the chiles with enough picadillo, seal the cut with a toothpicks. Place the flour in a wide bowl then dust the chiles with the flour.

2

Fill

Using an electric mixer or handheld mixer, beat the egg whites until they hold their shape and make stiff peaks; Add the salt and the yolks, one by one.

3

Mix

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Dip the pepper to coat with the egg batter, and carefully lower it into the hot oil.

4

Heat

Turn the chile after a minute, until the coating acquires an even golden brown color. Drain over paper towels to remove excess oil.

Drain

Serve the chiles over the warm tomato consomé. I serve mine with Mexican red rice as is perfect to absorb all the yummy tomato sauce!
