I made these last evening with poblanos. The taste is very good. I prepared the ranchero sauce to top the chile. However, instead of stuffing with picadillo, I stuffed with cheese.

My problem was stuffing the chile. I blackened them and left them to cool in a plastic bag. I peeled the skins off. The result was a very soft, formless chile that fell apart. I did what I could to close and tighten the chile with toothpicks so to fry them.

Thoughts on how I might do this better?

Hi Kevin. My husband and I are fairly accomplished cooks. We liked the looks of your recipe for chiles rellenos, and gave it a shot. Kevin, it is a very sophisticated recipe with complex layering of flavors. We used Anaheim pepper, which we grow in our garden, as well as our home made tomato puree. Everything came together quite well in the end. We are making it again tonight with a few tweaks – having spent lots of time in California, we like our food spicer, so we've added that. I've kicked up the ranchero sauce just a bit with the addition of chili powder and cinnamon. Kevin, congratulations, this is a fabulous recipe.

I came across your site recently cause of a search for chili rellenos. I make my own version but wanted something a bit different. I tried yours last night. The only thing i modified for preference was i used ground turkey instead of pork. All else was the same. I really enjoyed the flavors however i had a mess cause my peppers became a bit to soft and would not hold the filling. Also, i would next time cut the two tomatoe sauce & diced, quanties in half… it was alot of sauce.
Overall the flavor was worth the extra work… oh you might also want to correct the flour/egg/white wash directions, some people might mis read that.

This was absolutely fabulous… and I'm Mexican. Grew up eating my mom's great chiles rellenos, but this one just kicked it up 5 notches!!! Loved it and my picky husband raved about it too.

Kevin,

This looks so delicious, with red sauce surrounding the rellenos. I love Chiles Rellenos, but do not eat as often as they are fatty. I make it with tofu cheese and bake it!

OMG I LOVE chiles rellenos! Every time we go to my mexican friend's house I BEG for these 🙂 It's a bit of a pain to find the chiles here in the UK – you have to get them from some sort of specialist mexican place, but it's well worth the trouble. Yours look heavenly!
