Ingredients for Chile Relleno and Cheese Enchilada

Method

Directions for Chile Relleno and Cheese Enchilada

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chile Rellenos

    Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Place them in a plastic bag and let them steam for about 10 minutes, then peel off the skin carefully.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Peppers

    Once the peppers are peeled, make a slit on one side and remove the seeds. Fill each pepper with shredded cheese, then gently close them.

  3. 3

    Batter and Fry the Peppers

    In a bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. In another bowl, place the flour. Dip each stuffed pepper first in the flour, then in the egg mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the peppers until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Enchiladas

    In a separate pan, warm up the red enchilada sauce. Lightly fry the corn tortillas in a bit of oil until pliable. Dip each tortilla in the sauce, fill with cheese, and roll up. Place in a baking dish.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Place the fried chile rellenos on top of the enchiladas in the baking dish. Pour additional enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with sliced black olives.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled dish for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
