This is a heathlier version of a chile relleno. This is not a traditional relleno, but it is fast and easy to make in the microwave. Yes, microwave! I got this recipe from a lady that sells chile at the farmers market and I tried and really liked it for a quick chile relleno fix! Hope you like it too. You can use whatever cheese you want and use prepared bread crumbs if you want. I included step by step photos to help make these. Ingredients:
1 cup fresh breadcrumb |
1/2-1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese |
1 tomato, cut in strips (i used roma) |
4 green chilies (roasted and peeled) |
Directions:
1. Mix bread crumbs with salt and garlic powder.
2. Remove stems from chile and seed if you want. Cut open and lay chile flat.
3. Divide the 1/2 cup cheese between the 4 chiles and place 2 strips of tomatoe in each.
4. Close up chile and sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese on them.
5. Sprinkle bread crumbs on chiles. May not need the whole cup, maybe 3/4 cup.
6. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of bread crumbs.
7. Microwave for 3 minutes or until cheese melts.
