chili rellanos

How To Make chili rellanos

• 
  Step 1
  Pick out chilis without cracks or flaws. I like to get them all about the same size. I grab extra because some tend to rip and its difficult to use. This is the tomato sauce i get, you can pick your heat.
• 
  Step 2
  Blister and char the peppers. I do this outside (it can leave your house smelling of burnt chilis) can be done under the broiler as well.
• 
  Step 3
  When chard, place into a tightly sealed container or a plastic bag, twist to keep the steam inside. Let sit for approx 30 minutes.
• 
  Step 4
  Skin the peppers, this can get pretty messy.
• 
  Step 5
  Cut a small slit into chile. Slip the cheese through the slit gently.
• 
  Step 6
  Lightly dust with flour. tap off excess
• 
  Step 7
  Beat the egg whites until stiff. it actually depends on how 'eggy' you like your peppers. add about 3 Tbs. of flour about 1/2 way thru beating the whites. then fold in the yolks, one at a time. again, depends on your liking. i use about 1/2 of the yolks.
• 
  Step 8
  Gently cover the pepper with the egg mixture and set into a pan with hot oil, med to med high heat. cook until slightly browned.
• 
  Step 9
  Layer the peppers into a pan as they are done browning. pour the el pato sauce over the top
• 
  Step 10
  Bake in 350 oven for approx 25-30 minutes
• 
  Step 11
  Before eating, sprinkle the cotija cheese over and then enjoy one of the best rellanos you have prob have ever had :-). some things just taste so much better if you put some time into it!
