A sensory feast of vivid colors, alluring scents, and the sizzle of cooking awaits you in Mexico City's bustling market. I found Mexican Roasted Poblanos in Cream, or Rajas with Crema, there, which is a gastronomic marvel. I'm thrilled to share the recipe for this meal with you now that it's a mainstay in my kitchen! 🌶
- 8 Poblano Chiles
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 Large White Onion thinly sliced
- 2 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1 cup Sweet Corn
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 4 oz Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella or Monterey Jack Cheese
- Nachos or Warm Tortillas for serving
Instructions
- You can roast the chiles over a gas stove, roasted under a broiler or over a barbecue grill.
- Our preference is to use the broiler in our oven. Arrange a rack in the top position of the oven and preheat the broiler to high. Arrange chiles poblanos on a sheet pan and char under the broiler, turning, until all sides are charred, 2-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chiles poblanos to a large bowl, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and let the chiles steam for 20 minutes.
- Carefully remove the stems, peel and seeds from each chile. Cut the chiles lengthwise into 1/2 inch wide strips and set aside until ready to use.
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, garlic, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly browned, around 8 minutes.
- Add the poblano, corn, cream cheese, sour cream and milk and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded cheese and cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let it sit covered until the cheese has melted.
- Serve with tortillas chips or warm corn tortillas.
