For all the Gringos out here Chile Rellenos is nothing more the stuffed peppers. Rellenos translated means filling, or stuffing. These are one of my favorite food and is great as a snack or a meal. This of course is a simple recipe using only cheese, but you can also add beef, or chicken as well as carna asada, and carnitas and tomatoes and onions into the cheese filling if you so choose.
When shopping for Chiles, look for a thick fleshed, straight Chiles large enough to hold the rellenos. Yes the Anaheim peppers used in this recipe were named for the city of Anaheim, California.
