Mexican night goes fully vegetarian with these crispy, flavorful, budget-friendly Chile Rellenos! The deep flavor from the poblano peppers is perfectly complimented by the subtly spicy homemade salsa, creamy cheese, and the super light fry batter. The natural flavors of each ingredient really come together to make this meal a showstopper. I’ll warn you, it’s not effortless! But the result is delicious and absolutely worth the extra effort.
Easy Recipe for Chile Relleno
These chile rellenos are roasted, peeled, and gently stuffed with creamy cheese before being dipped in an airy whipped egg batter and pan-fried until golden. I then serve these stuffed peppers with a rich, slightly spicy tomato salsa made from scratch. Believed to have originated in Puebla, Mexico, chile rellenos have long been a favorite for their rich flavors and the impressive hands-on care that goes into making them.
My recipe stays true to the spirit of the traditional dish while using ingredients that are a little more approachable for the home kitchen. And while you can make four servings at home for the price of one restaurant entrée, you’ve still gotta work for it! If nothing else, learning how to cook foods from other cultures deepens my appreciation for the kitchen staff at my favorite local restaurants even more—and it already runs deep.
