Burrito and Relleno Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Spanish Rice
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until translucent. Stir in the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes. Add water or broth (follow package instructions), cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is cooked.

Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Add zesty red sauce, mixing well. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until heated through.

Prepare the Chile Relleno
Roast poblano peppers over an open flame until charred. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off charred skin, cut a slit, and remove seeds. Stuff with shredded cheese. Heat a skillet with a bit of oil, and cook the stuffed peppers until cheese is melted and lightly golden.
