Method

Preparation of Chiles

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chiles

    Rinse the yellow chiles under cold water. Carefully slice each chile lengthwise to create an opening, ensuring you don't cut all the way through. Remove any seeds or inner membranes for a milder flavor.

Filling the Chiles

  1. 2

    Stuff the Chiles

    Take the mozzarella cheese and cut it into strips that will fit inside the chiles. Gently insert the mozzarella into the opening of each prepared chile, filling them generously.

Wrapping and Cooking

  1. 3

    Wrap with Bacon

    Wrap each stuffed chile with a bacon strip, starting at one end and spiraling down to the other end. Secure the ends of the bacon with toothpicks if necessary.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chiles

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Place the bacon-wrapped chiles on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the chiles are tender.
