  2. Beat egg whites until very firm.
  3. In small bowl, mix flour, water, and egg yolks together with a fork or spoon.

  5. Slice brick of Jack cheese into long wedges. Stuff 6 whole chiles with cheese wedges, being careful not to break the chile. Dice and reserve any remaining for sauce.
  6. Heat oil in large fry pan.

  10. Flip the relleno over and cook until golden.
  11. Place cooked relleno on large platter and keep warm while you repeat these steps for each stuffed chile.
  12. Once all the rellenos are done, continue to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
