Back into my sweet spot, or should I say, my spicy side. Corn Stuffed Poblanos – a vegetarian dish with plenty of flavor.

Jump to Recipe

I have come back from India and returned to Mexico to present this traditional vegetarian dish. The dish many know is called CHILE RELLONOS. These are stuffed poblanos that are breaded and deep fried. My recipe is just as tasty but lighter and healthier. My recipe has no deep frying.

The beauty of this dish is that the poblano, so flavorful by itself, is the vessel for adding more ingredients and flavor to the dish. The poblano is a smoky pepper. Many people think it is spicy because it is called a pepper. The poblano is very mild. To prepare the poblano, it is cooked in an oven on high heat. Then, removed and placed into a paper bag, or covered bowl and steamed. After 20 minutes, the skin of the poblano is peeled off.

Below is a few of my favorite Mexican recipes.

MEXICAN TATER TOT CASSEROLE

MEXICAN RISOTTO STUFFED CHICKEN MILANESE

MEXICAN SMOKED MEATLOAF

The flavor of this recipe is imparted through the stuffing. The filling is a corn, bell pepper and onion mixture. Plenty of spices are added including adobo seasoning, smoked ground cumin, ancho chili powder, chili powder and dried cilantro. The stuffing is finished with creamy, melty oaxaca cheese and salty cotija.
