Rajas De Chiles Y Queso Manchego Recipes

Steps:

• Over a medium high heat, in a medium-size cast iron skillet, heat the oil until it smokes. Add the whole epazote leaves and fry until they wilt, stirring all the time, about 2 minutes. Add the chile strips and salt and fry about 3 minutes, stirring all the time.
• Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream and milk. Add the pieces of cheese and cook until the cheese melts.
• Serve hot, over Arroz Blanco.

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Wash the chiles and remove their stems, seeds, and veins. Bring the water to a boil in a medium sized saucepan and add the chiles. Cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Soak for 1 hour, or until softened, then drain, reserving the soaking water. In a blender, combine the chiles and their soaking water with the garlic, onion, cumin, salt, pepper, sugar, and oregano. Puree the sauce until smooth, adding a little more of the soaking water if it is too thick. In a wide saute pan large enough to fit the diameter of the tortillas, heat the olive oil over medium low heat. Add the sauce and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly. Taste for seasoning, cover and keep warm at the back of the stove. To make the enchiladas: In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese, chiles, cilantro and the onions and toss to mix. In another large skillet, heat 1-inch of canola oil over mediumhigh heat. When it is hot, fry the tortillas, one at a time, for about 30 seconds, or until slightly golden but still pliable. Drain on paper towels.
• Preheat the oven to warm. Ladle some of the sauce in the center of a warm plate. Coat each tortilla with sauce by dipping it into the pan, then place it on the plate. Scatter about 1/4 cup of the cheese chile mixture over, then dip and stack another tortilla. Scatter with the cheese and make another layer in the same way. Top with a fourth dipped tortilla and keep warm in the oven while you finish stacking the dipped tortillas and cheese to make 5 more servings. Top each stack with a little more sauce, some of the crumbled panela, and a few sprigs of cilantro and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Roast the chilies over an open flame or on a griddle until blackened but not charred. Wrap the chilies in a towel and place them in a plastic bag for about 10 minutes. Remove the chilies and with the help of a kitchen towel rub the skins off. The chilies should be firm. Cut them in 1/2-inch strips discarding all the seeds and the ribs. Do not rinse them. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chilies and the onions at the same time. Stir often. When everything is soft add all the sour cream and the chicken bouillon granules to taste. When the cream is hot turn off the burner and add the cheese. Cover immediately. Enjoy with warm tortillas and white rice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place poblano directly on the grates of a gas stove. Cook over medium heat, flipping with tongs occasionally, until blackened and charred, about 5 minutes. Place in a sealed plastic bag and allow to cool, 7 to 8 minutes. Peel off charred skins, remove seeds, and cut flesh into 1-inch squares.
• Place 1 1/2 tablespoons Manchego cheese onto each empanada disc. Top each with 1/2 tablespoon poblano peppers. Fold dough over on top of filling to close. Wet fingers with water and run them along the edges to help seal. Press edges together. Place empanadas on the prepared baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 24 to 26 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and add poblano peppers. Brush peppers with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
• Roast poblano peppers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip and continue roasting until skin is charred and flesh is soft, about 20 minutes more.
• Place roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and peel the skins from the peppers and remove seeds and stems. Cut peppers into strips.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook corn kernels until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add poblano pepper strips and corn; season with chicken bouillon granules and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cream and manchego cheese; simmer until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
