Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Peppers
Roast the green chile peppers over an open flame or in a broiler until the skins are blistered and charred. Place in a plastic bag for 10 minutes to steam, then peel off the skins. Cut a slit down one side of each pepper and remove the seeds.

Stuff the Peppers
Stuff each pepper with Asadero cheese, ensuring they are filled but not overstuffed.

Make the Beer Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and beer, mixing until smooth. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then fold them into the beer batter.

Fry the Stuffed Peppers
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Dip each stuffed pepper into the beer batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
