How To Make rajas con queso

  • Step 1
    Roast the chilies over an open flame or on a griddle until blackened but not charred.
  • Step 2
    Wrap the chilies in a towel and place them in a plastic bag for about 10 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Remove the chilies and with the help of the towel rub the skins off. The chilies should still be somewhat firm.
  • Step 4
    Cut them in 1/2 inch strips, discarding all the seeds and the ribs. Do not rinse.
  • Step 5
    Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chilies and the onions at the same time, stirring often.
  • Step 6
    When everything is soft add all the sour cream and the chicken bouillon granules.
  • Step 7
    When the cream is hot, turn off the burner and add the cheese. Cover immediately until cheese melts.
  • Step 8
    Serve with warm flour tortillas.
