Chiles Rellenos: A Savory Mexican Classic
Ingredients List
-
12 Anaheim chile peppers, charred and peeled
-
1 pound Cheddar cheese, cut into 12 strips
-
1 cup milk
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 egg, beaten
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon canola oil
-
oil for frying
Step-by-Step Instructions
Carefully remove the seeds and membranes from the chili peppers, then fill each one with a generous strip of Cheddar cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together milk, 1 cup of flour, egg, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of canola oil until the mixture is smooth. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of flour onto a shallow plate.
Heat 1 inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Coat each stuffed pepper in flour, then dip into the batter. Fry in batches until both sides are golden brown and crisped to perfection.
Helpful Tip
For convenience, you can use canned green chilies or roast fresh green chilies over an open flame, then peel off the skin and remove the seeds and membranes.
