Rajas Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Roasting the Peppers

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the poblano peppers in half and remove the seeds and stems. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side down, and brush with olive oil. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the skin is blistered and charred.

2. 2

   Peeling the Peppers

   Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them steam for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the charred skin and slice the peppers into strips.

3. 3

   Combining Ingredients

   In a skillet over medium heat, add the roasted poblano strips. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Adding Cheese

   Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the poblano strips. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. 5

   Serving

   Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos.
