Ingredients

  • 1 Poblano chili pepper
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 eggs
  • Flour tortillas
  • Grated cheese to taste

Directions

  •  
    1
    To remove the skin from the chiles, cover them with some oil and put them straight over the fire until the skin is black.
  •  
    2
    Immediately after, place them in an airtight plastic bag and leave them for at least 10 minutes.
  •  
    3
    Put them under running cold water and remove the skin.
  •  
    4
    Using a knife, make a small incision in the chiles to remove the veins and all of the seeds.
  •  
    5
    Beat the eggs with a whisk or mixer until they’re foamy.
  •  
    6
    Roll the chiles over the flour, and, if you’d like, add your favorite spices to the flour. Then, immerse the chiles in the beaten egg.
  •  
    7
    Fry the chiles in enough hot oil until they’re golden. Set them aside and drain them on absorbent paper.
  •  
    8
    Heat a tortilla in the pan, add cheese on it, some tomato sauce and then the chili. Cover it with more cheese and close the tortilla.
  •  
    9
    Brown them on both sides and serve them hot with more red sauce.
