Ingredients for Mini Chile Rellenos

Preparation

Directions for Mini Chile Rellenos

1. Prepare the Chiles

Roast the Anaheim chiles over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Place them in a plastic bag for about 10 minutes to steam and loosen the skin. Peel the chiles, remove the seeds, and set aside.

2. Prepare the Filling

Stuff each roasted chile with approximately 2 tablespoons of Monterey Jack cheese, ensuring they are filled but not overflowing.

3. Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.

4. Fry the Chiles

Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium heat. Dip each stuffed chile in the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. Serve

Serve the crispy Mini Chile Rellenos hot with warm green chile sauce on the side for dipping.
