Steps:
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place the peppers onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 8 to 10 minutes per side. When the peppers are about 80 percent blackened, place them a plastic bag, seal, and allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove the skins and discard. Cut a slit lengthwise into the side of each pepper, and remove seeds and veins. To reduce spiciness, rinse out any remaining seeds with water. Pat the peppers dry with paper towels.
- Mix together the shredded mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Divide the cheese into 4 portions, and squeeze each portion lightly in your hands to make a cone shape. Insert a cone into the slit in each pepper, and pin the openings closed with toothpicks. Dredge each pepper in flour, dust off the excess, and place on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper or waxed paper. Place the peppers in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- To make sauce, blend the stewed tomatoes in a blender until pureed, and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cook and stir for about 30 seconds, and pour in the pureed tomatoes, chicken broth, vinegar, oregano, cumin, black pepper, hot pepper sauce, and cinnamon. Reduce to medium-low, and simmer the sauce until reduced by half and thickened, about 20 minutes, stirring often.
- Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), and warm a platter in the oven.
- To make batter and finish the chiles rellenos, mix 1/3 cup flour with salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Lightly mix the egg yolk and flour-salt mixture into the egg whites to make a fluffy batter. Remove peppers from freezer and coat them in flour again; shake off excess flour, and dip each pepper into the egg batter, using a spoon to gently but completely coat each pepper with batter.
- Heat frying oil in a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot oil, and fry on both sides until the batter is golden brown and the cheese filling is hot, about 5 minutes per side. Remove peppers to warmed platter while you finish frying. To serve, ladle a generous spoonful of sauce onto plate, and place pepper on sauce. Serve peppers hot with a dollop of sour cream.

CHILES RELLENOS WITH CHEESE SAUCE
These chilies are filled with wonderful melted cheese and coated in a rich beaten egg mixture. Growing up in a state with no Latino population, I didn't taste these little beauties until I was 12 years old. It was love at first bite. I still love them and they're one of my favorite foods.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers onto the prepared baking sheet, and cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Turn the peppers often to blacken all sides. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
- Rinse cooled peppers under cold water to peel off the skins, and cut a slit along the long side of each pepper to remove the seeds and core. Rinse the peppers inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the peppers with strips of the cheese.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with the baking powder. In a second metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Place flour into a shallow bowl.
- Heat the vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, tap off excess flour, and dip the peppers into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot shortening. Fry peppers until lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

Steps:
- Combine the 3 cheeses in bowl and refrigerate. Separate the eggs into separate mixing bowls. Beat the whites on high speed until soft peaks form; add the 1/4 cup flour and mix for 10 seconds. Add the yolks and mix at medium speed for 10 seconds. Using a large rubber spatula finish incorporating the yolks by folding them in. Cover and refrigerate until ready to batter the rellenos. Make a cut down the length of the chiles, gently open chiles and hold under cold running water to rinse away the seeds. Pat dry with paper towels. Gently press about 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture into an oval shaped ball and place inside one of the chiles. Using a wooden toothpick "sew" the seam of the chile shut. Repeat until all chiles are filled. Place the flour on a plate. Gently roll the stuffed chiles in the flour to coat. Dip into egg mixture and coat completely. Line another plate with paper towels. Fill a heavy skillet with 3 to 4 inches of the oil and heat over high until oil sizzles when a pinch of flour is dropped in. Add the stuffed chiles and fry one at a time. When chiles are light golden brown, turn them to brown the other side. Remove with tongs and transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain. To serve: Place 2 rellenos on each plate and remove the toothpicks and discard. Spoon the Ranchero Sauce over the rellenos and sprinkle the cheese over. For the Ranchero Sauce: Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until soft. Add the rest of the ingredients, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, decrease the heat to low and simmer for ten minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To use, heat slowly over low heat. If necessary, thin with 1 tablespoon of chicken stock. This recipe yields 4 servings.
