The regular method is a pain in the ass, makes a mess, and face it- I'm just not good at it and they end up greasy every time. There! I said it!

Does anyone have a decent recipe for baked ones? Scanning around, a few look like a poblano casserole, and others look like stuffed bell peppers using poblanos. I just know I love poblanos……

Stuffed, baked poblanos is a thing. So is Chile en nogada where the chile is roasted first then stuffed.

La Fogata in SA used to have an off menu item that was awesome.

Fajita y poblano

Whole grilled skirt (loin flap?)

Roasted/charred poblano stuffed with shredded chicken and (Monterey Jack?)

It's been 15+ years since I've had it, and can still taste it

Apparently it became a menu item…Poblano Tampiqueña

Interesting……that looks roasted, but not peeled. I'm good with that. Roughage is roughage.

That looks like it's worth trying. I've never added a fried tortilla to my ranchero sauce, but may have to give that a try. Pretty much exactly how I make mine otherwise

Is the tortilla a thickener of some sort? I'm sure frying it gives a good flavor.

That's my guess and probably adds a little nuttiness. I think I'm gonna make this after church tomorrow

Well I just assumed they are baked. I can't even think of any other way that they'd be made.

Don't attack the messenger but……the ones in the freezer section at Trader Joes are pretty hard to beat….

I often buy the "Goya" brand, and they're good, but I love to cook…..

I love the dish. I judge every new Mexican joint I go to on how their CRs are…I've tried several times making them myself but I can't seem to get the batter right….

So F & S this may be Blasphemy but gonna try to make them like my all time favorite CR's from La Bodega in Midland,, TX. Going to add some ground beef with onions to each layer, and prior to eating top with sour cream and raisins, Do Not Knock It Till You Try It!

Doing this tonight, by it cutting it down to a 9x9 pan (there will be math). I am, however, doing the full ranchero sauce recipe. I suspect it will freeze well, and can be used lots of ways….

I was very happy with how it turned out. Hits all the right notes of a good Chile Relleno and didn't taste eggy which was my only concern. I poured off the excess fry oil and re-used it for Milinesa which went with it perfectly.

Was happy with mine




That sauce…….wow! I could almost eat a cup of it by itself.

Make some migas or Huevos rancheros with it. It's how I've always made mine just without the tortilla.

What were your thoughts on the fried tortilla in the sauce?
FIDO*98*

Didn't really change the flavor or texture to any appreciable degree. It acted mainly as a thickener. I'd bet you could fry a tablespoon of masa in a couple of tablespoons of oil before adding the blended veggies and accomplish the same thing without having to deep fry a tortilla and waste a bunch of oil.

I will respectfully disagree, but at the same time, I used our "taco frying oil" to fry the tortilla and sauce. It no doubt had its own "toasted corn" flavor to it.

Do you think just a shallow fry of a tortilla would do the same with just a spray of oil? Or even without oil?

You'll have to ask one of the genuine chefs. I raised one eyebrow at it, but what she said to do, worked.

If you have enough oil to do a shallow fry, just keep cooking it until it's a crispy chip. I feel like a crispy chip is going to give a different texture to the sauce than a plain corn tortilla. And you don't need much oil to do it. Spray it with oil, and broil it. You'll get pretty close. Or, if you have them, throw in a handful of Fritos into the blender.

B1 you are a Corpus guy if I recall correctly. Try the Island Pepper at La Playa in Port A. Cheese stuffed roasted poblano wrapped in skirt steak. You're welcome.

HTownAg98: Howdy, THANKS for your post, Love Chile Relienos!!!! Made it with some slight modifications, browned 1 lbs hamburger with some onions. Put browned hamburger on each layer. After baking added some Rotel Chopped Tomatoes and of course my Midland, Tx La Bodega topping of sour cream and rasinis. Turned out great, will be making again soon!!!

For someone whose least favorite part of chile rellenos is the eggy part, how would you do that casserole without eggs? If you just cut back on the eggs (not eliminating entirely) what would the effect be? I bought some poblanos because I really love rellenos but not the super spongey eggy ones.

I do not eat eggs - not fried, scrambled, in omelets…none. This was just fine. Be sure to have that cheese in there and cook until the top has lots of brown, toasted cheese and you'll be just fine.

Good to know, thank you! I don't even buy eggs, that's how infrequently I use them. At least in a couple weeks for thanksgiving I can use them for cornbread, etc. I just didn't want to cook up a giant souffle that was gonna make me gag.
