Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the green chiles and remove the seeds. Stuff each chile with white cheddar cheese and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix blue cornmeal, milk, egg, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chiles

    Dip each stuffed green chile into the blue cornmeal batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chiles

    In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chiles until golden brown on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sides

    Serve the fried chiles alongside arroz verde (green rice) and pinto beans topped with extra white cheddar cheese.
