Filling and Batter

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or in the oven until charred. Place them in a plastic bag to steam for about 10 minutes, then peel off the skin, cut a slit in the side, and remove the seeds.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent. Add ground beef, salt, and black pepper, cooking until the beef is browned. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Peppers

    Carefully stuff each roasted poblano pepper with the beef and cheese mixture.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Gradually add flour, mixing until smooth.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chile Rellenos

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Dip each stuffed pepper into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Fry the peppers in hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chile rellenos with warm tomato sauce drizzled over the top.
