My mom was a single parent and used to sell chile relleno burritos with refried beans during her lunch hour to make extra cash. I remember waking up for school and seeing her busy in the kitchen roasting chiles and making flour tortillas. As you can imagine, they were very popular. She would also make them for us to take on road trips.
Looking back, I’m in awe of the work my Mom did to ensure we never went without. These traditional Mexican chiles rellenos take time and commitment.
These authentic fried Chiles Rellenos are made with lightly spicy Anaheim peppers that are filled with melted queso Oaxaca, coated in a delicate, slightly crispy coating, and served with a warm ranchero salsa.
