Immerse yourself in the authentic flavors of Mexican cuisine with our Golden Stuffed Peppers with Salsa, featuring tender Poblano chiles filled with Oaxaca cheese, fried until golden perfection, and served with tangy salsa roja.
Wash poblano chiles, pat completely dry. Preheat the oven to broil at high and place the chiles on a baking sheet to broil for several minutes, turning halfway, until very blackened on both sides
2
Once blackened, place chiles in a bowl and cover to allow them to steam for 5-10 minutes.
3
Post steaming, peel the charred skin off the chiles carefully. Make a slit of approximately 1.5 inches on the side of each Chili and remove the seeds and membrane with a small spoon.
4
Stuff each chili with Oaxaca cheese.
PREPARE BATTER
5
In a large, deep mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, 1/2 cup flour, salt and pepper until smooth.
6
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks, and then fold them into the egg yolk mixture.
COAT AND FRY
7
Coat the stuffed chiles lightly with 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish, then dip each in the batter, ensuring the chile is fully covered.
8
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once oil is ready, place the battered chiles in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown on both sides.

Transfer the fried chiles to a wire cooling rack lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
