Ingredients

  • 4 large Poblano peppers
  • 1 large White onion
  • 0.5 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack or Oaxaca cheese
  • 12 pieces Corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Char the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is blackened and blistered on all sides.

  2. 2

    Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam.

  3. 3

    Peel the charred skin off the peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and slice the flesh into thin strips (rajas).

  4. 4

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 8 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the minced garlic and poblano strips to the skillet, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir in the crema and salt. Lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the cheese over the mixture and cover the pan for 1 minute until the cheese is melted.

  8. 8

    Warm the corn tortillas and fill each with a generous portion of the rajas mixture. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
