Ole Chile Relleno Wraps Recipes

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Roast peppers on the top rack of the preheated oven until the skins are charred, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and allow to cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Set the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• While peppers are cooling, whisk eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth. Slice the queso fresco into eight even rectangles, just shorter than the length of the peppers.
• Carefully peel off the waxy skin of the cooled peppers. Gently cut a slit down the length of the peppers and use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes.
• Spread about 1/4 cup of the milk mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Wrap each pepper around a queso fresco rectangle. Place each chile/cheese wrap seam-side down in a single layer in the baking dish. Cover with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the egg mixture has risen and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Pre-Heat oil in fryer to 320F. Wash peppers, cut off top, remove seeds and ribs. Wrap peppers in damp cloth and microwave for 5 minutes to soften pepper. (you can skip this step if you like your peppers crunchy)
• 2. Brown ground beef with some taco seasoning to your liking. Slice the Chihuahua cheese.
• 3. Taking turns, stuff the peppers with the meat and then cheese, alternating until full.
• 4. Combine Flour, Chicken Coating and Eggs to create a thick pancake like batter. Liberally coat the peppers in the batter, making sure to seal the top.
• 5. In deep fryer, cook until golden brown, approx 5 minutes.
• 6. Serve with Guacamole, Sour Cream, Salsa, Enchilada Sauce! The options are endless and DELICIOUS!!!

Steps:

• Lay a wrapper on a work surface diagonally so it resembles a diamond. Place a slice of green chile horizontally across the wrapper, 1 inch above the bottom point. Place a strip of Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chile.
• Fill a small bowl with water. Dip an index finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper up and over the chile and cheese, starting from the point closest to you. Bring in both sides, making sure to press firmly to seal the filling. Roll away from you and to enclose the yumminess inside. Repeat with remaining wrappers, chiles, and Monterey Jack cheese.
• Heat approximately 1/2 inch of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Carefully lay a few egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.
• Transfer fried egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Grate enough cheese needed; about 1 cup for each Chilechanga.
• Pour between 1/4 and 1/2 inch oil in a skillet. Begin heating slowly over low heat.
• Place a stack of tortillas on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for up to 30 seconds.
• Microwave the chiles before using so they are warm, but not hot to the touch.
• Remove one tortilla at a time to assemble. Evenly pile approximately 1/3 of the cheese lengthwise along the center of tortilla.
• Stuff the pepper with 1/3 of the cheese, then place over the cheese on the tortilla.
• Cover pepper with the remaining cheese and roll carefully and tightly, burrito style.
• Raise the heat to medium and begin frying when oil temperature is reached (each should be browned slowly so the filling is thoroughly heated to melt the cheese without scorching the tortilla. Up to 4 may be fried at one time).
• Turn each to brown evenly, to a nice golden brown color.
• Drain on paper towels when done and allow to cool slightly before serving.
• TO BAKE: Brush each Chilechanga with oil or melted margarine or butter, or spray with non-stick cooking spray; bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden.
• SERVE with warmed enchilada sauce or taco sauce; SNAP your fingers and shout,"OLE!".

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese into bottom of a lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish.
• Top with chiles.
• Add remaining cheese.
• Place flour in medium bowl.
• Gradually add milk, stirring until smooth.
• Add eggs, stir until well blended.
• Pour mixture over Cheese.
• Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
• Serve with Salsa, and desired toppings, such as sour cream, sliced ripe olives, chopped green onions.

Steps:

• Heat up your roasted red peppers if they are not hot from the oven.
• Spread the cheese only on a quarter of the wrap so it's thick.
• Add your red peppers and roll up!
• enjoy!

Steps:

• PREPARE the SAUCE: HEAT 1/3 cup corn oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; CHOP 1 medium onion together with 4 cloves of garlic in a food processor; SAUTE the onion and garlic mixture in corn oil until translucent and golden, and almost caramelized. ADD 1/3 cup flour to the saute mixture, until flour is lightly browned (the color of brown mustard); SPREAD the mixture evenly as it cooks. PLACE into the large bowl of a food processor enough fresh ripe Roma tomatoes to yield approximately 1 1/2 cups pureed, and one stem-removed seeded fresh jalapeno pepper; PROCESS both until pureed. SCRAPE the sauteed onion and garlic mixture from saucepan using a flexible spatula into the bowl of the food processor with the tomatoes and jalapeno, submerging the onion and garlic roux into the puree. PROCESS mixture until all ingredients until finely pureed. POUR pureed mixture into the same medium saucepan. STIR into the sauce mixture 5 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed Mexican oregano (crush between fingers) 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper, and 1 large bay laurel leaf (and 1 pinch ground cinnamon and 1 pinch ground cloves if desired). BRING mixture to boiling while whisking; REDUCE heat to medium and cook for about 45 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached, whisking occasionally. COVER slightly vented so steam can escape; KEEP sauce warm over lowest heat, whisking as needed to refresh consistency until served, or reheat and stir before serving.
• ROAST fresh peppers if not using canned; KEEP stems intact; PLACE under broiler and broil on each side until evenly blistered slightly blackened; IMMEDIATELY place peppers into a large plastic ziplock bag and allow to steam for a few minutes; REMOVE skins from each pepper (they should slide off easily now); CUT a slit lengthwise down the middle or side of each (just big enough to slide in a stick of cheese or a mound of shredded cheese); CUP each pepper with one hand and pour gently running water into slit to flush out seeds.
• SOAK fresh or canned chiles in brine for a few minutes; CUT cheese into 6 long thin sticks (OR) shred cheese then thinly mound and mold 6 portions; REMOVE chiles from brine and blot with paper towels.
• STUFF each chile with one cheese portion then slip into pepper slit (if a chile tears don't worry, flour and egg batter will seal it well enough).
• POUR oil into an electric wok or an electric skillet (or enough oil into deep fryer); SET heat control to 265°F.
• MEASURE flour into a sifter or fine mesh collander; DUST each of the chiles well with flour on all sides and set aside (for torn chiles, apply extra flour at the seam then overlap slightly).
• BEAT egg whites in a medium bowl with one pinch salt, using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; BEAT egg yolks in another bowl with one tablespoon flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt; ADD yolk mixture all at once to egg whites; FOLD together lightly but thoroughly while keeping the egg mixture fluffy.
• COAT one chile evenly with egg mixture, using rubber spatula if necessary to "frost" chile; HOLD chile by the stem; PLACE place carefully onto the hot oil; REPEAT with the remaining chiles, frying no more than 2 or 3 at a time.
• FRY until golden on all sides, turning once with spatula until done, about 5 minutes total; DRAIN between paper towels (if necessary, rellenos may be individually reheated in a microwave (100% power) for 15-20 seconds).
• SERVE over a pool of warm SAUCE, or top with your favorite pico de gallo or salsa and a dollop of sour cream, and cilantro sprig to garnish; SNAP your fingers and shout,"OLE"!
