Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 poblano chiles
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces lean ground turkey breast
½ cup diced white onion
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
½ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup diced jicama
½ cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon seeded and minced serrano or jalapeño
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • Peel skin from chiles and cut a slit, lengthwise, down one side of each chile and remove seeds.

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

3-4 large poblano peppers
3 cups shredded cheese ((I used a mix of queso fresco, cheddar, and mozzarella))
1 14.5 ounce can tomatoes ((crushed or diced))
½ medium onion, diced
1 4 ounce can diced green chilies
¼ cup vegetable broth ((or chicken if not making vegetarian))
2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 sprigs green onions, chopped
avocado
sour cream

Steps:

  • Put the poblano peppers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place the baking sheet on the highest rack in the oven and broil on high for 15 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes.
  • Once the peppers have roasted, remove them from the oven and place them in a sealable plastic bag for 10 minutes to steam.
  • Turn on the oven to 375°F to continue warming.
  • While the peppers are roasting, add all of the sauce ingredients to a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil.
  • Add the sauce to a food processor and pulse about 10 times to smooth out the sauce but still leave a few chunks of vegetables.
  • Place about 2/3 of the sauce at the bottom of a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan/dish.
  • Remove the peppers from the plastic bag, cut a slit in the side, and remove the seeds and top stem. Flip the pepper over and peel off as much charred skin as you can. Be careful, the peppers are still hot!
  • Flip the pepper back over and fill it with a generous amount of cheese. I used a mix of queso fresco, sharp cheddar, and mozzarella.
  • Roll up the sides of the pepper and place it open side down in the pan with the sauce. Don't worry if it breaks a little, it will be covered with more sauce and cheese.
  • Cover the cheese-stuffed peppers in the pan with the rest of the sauce and cheese.
  • Bake the rellenos in the oven at 375°F for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and serve with chopped green onion, avocado, and sour cream. Enjoy!

Categories     Main - GF & Vegan Adaptable

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

4-6 extra-large poblano peppers, leave whole with stems on. (see notes)
6 ripe, medium tomatoes, ( roma, or vine-ripened)
6 fat garlic cloves
one large onion, sliced into ½ inch wedges or slices
2 small jalapeños
2 tablespoons olive oil
14 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed -seasoned (see notes) or Cuban Style are nice
6 ounces grated jack cheese or Mexican queso fresco (or 1 cup vegan Herbed Tofu Ricotta )
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, but good)
¼ cup fresh cilantro plus more for garnish
1/4-1/2 cup water or broth ( to the desired consistency)

Steps:

  • READ DIRECTIONS ALL THE WAY THROUGH
  • Cut the tomatoes in half and arrange them on the sheet pan. Add the sliced onions to the sheet pan, along with the whole garlic cloves, halved jalapeños and whole poblano peppers, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to use two sheet pans. (You can also char the peppers on a gas burner, see notes) Drizzle all with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place on the middle rack and check after 15 minutes. (If your oven runs hot, you could turn it down to 425 if needed.) If the peppers are tender remove them (pasilla peppers will cook much faster than poblanos- please see notes) and check the garlic, removing it if tender. Otherwise, continue roasting with the tomatoes and onions for another 15-20 minutes until the peppers and onions are tender and tomatoes are juicy.
  • Mix the canned beans (drained, rinsed) with the cheese. OR If going vegan, mix the beans with 1 cup of vegan herbed tofu ricotta. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. If using plain black beans, add a teaspoon of cumin and chili powder.
  • When the poblanos are just tender, take the sheet pan out of the oven (leave the oven on) and let it cool.
  • Take ⅓ of the onions, chop them up, and add them to the bean filling mixture and stir.
  • Place the remaining onions into a blender along with the tomatoes, pan juices, jalapeño, garlic, cumin, coriander, chili powder, oregano, salt, tomato paste and fresh cilantro, adding a little water (or broth if needed) to thin it out, and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • Carefully cut a slit in the poblano peppers from stem to pointy end and using your fingers, gently remove seeds while rinsing them under cold running water. If the thin skins slip off, let them, but don't worry about actively peeling them, especially poblanos - their skins are quite thin -leaving some of the skin on is perfectly fine. Pasillo peppers have thick skin and should be peeled.
  • In a large greased baking dish (or oven-proof skillet) pour a little of the roasted tomato ranchero sauce to coat the bottom (use about half the sauce). Place the peppers over top of the sauce, slit side up, then spoon the black bean filling into each one. Pour the rest of the flavorful ranchero sauce over top. At this point, you could add more shredded cheese to the top, or leave it off.
  • Cover with foil and bake 20-25 minutes in a 425F oven- or until the filling is warm and melty, uncover and bake 5 more minutes.
  • Garnish with cilantro leaves, toasted pumpkin seeds and sour cream if you like.

BAKED CHILES RELLENOS



Baked Chiles Rellenos image

Delicious baked chiles rellenos without the fat of frying. Serve with Mexican beans and rice.

Provided by Busy Teacher

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium poblano peppers
4 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup milk
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) package queso fresco
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Roast peppers on the top rack of the preheated oven until the skins are charred, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and allow to cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Set the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • While peppers are cooling, whisk eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth. Slice the queso fresco into eight even rectangles, just shorter than the length of the peppers.
  • Carefully peel off the waxy skin of the cooled peppers. Gently cut a slit down the length of the peppers and use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes.
  • Spread about 1/4 cup of the milk mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Wrap each pepper around a queso fresco rectangle. Place each chile/cheese wrap seam-side down in a single layer in the baking dish. Cover with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the egg mixture has risen and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
