"This is my adaptation of a chiles rellenos potluck recipe a friend described to me--so far everyone loves it. It
can take some time to make, but it's worth it! Cotija cheese is a salty, hard cheese available in the Hispanic
section of many grocery stores. It is similar to feta which could be used as a substitute in this recipe. But
cotija is getting easier to find and makes this recipe more authentic!"
Ingredients
10 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise, stems and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
seeds removed 2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon olive oil 12 ounces cotija cheese
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
Directions
1 Adjust oven rack to its topmost position and set oven to broil.
2 Place chiles skin side up on a baking sheet, and broil until skins blister, about 5 minutes. Be careful not
to let them burn. Remove chiles from the oven and place in a glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let
chiles steam until cool. Remove and discard the skins.
3 Preheat oven to bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4 Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in sliced onions, and cook until so , about 5
minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until onions and tomatoes achieve a sauce-like consistency, about
15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Season with cumin, stir briefly, then stir in the sour cream; remove from
heat.
5 To assemble the chiles rellenos: Slice cheese into 20 long rectangles (or sticks) 1/4-inch thick and
approximately as long as the chiles. Roll each cheese rectangle into a chile half. Place rolled chiles into a
baking dish and top with the tomato sauce. Crumble any extra cheese on top of the sauce. Bake for 30 to
40 minutes until the sauce is bubbly.
