Elevate Your Meal: Innovative Twists on Traditional Chiles Rellenos

Chiles Rellenos is a beloved Mexican dish traditionally made with poblano peppers stuffed with cheese, then battered and fried. But why not elevate this classic with some innovative twists? Here’s a fresh take that’s sure to impress your taste buds!

Ingredients:

• • 4 large poblano peppers

• • 1 cup cooked quinoa

• • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

• • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

• • 1 teaspoon cumin

• • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• • 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Mexican blend)

• • 1 cup salsa verde

• • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

• • Olive oil

• • Salt and pepper to taste

• • Optional: sliced avocado and lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

Prepare the Peppers: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the poblano peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler until charred. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skins and make a slit down the side to remove the seeds.

Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine quinoa, black beans, corn, cumin, smoked paprika, half of the cheese, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.

Stuff the Peppers: Carefully fill each pepper with the quinoa mixture.

Bake: Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and top with salsa verde and remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve: Garnish with avocado slices and lime wedges. Enjoy your elevated chiles rellenos!
