Time 1h33m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 poblano peppers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 ear fresh corn, kernels cut off
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, sliced
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
½ cup heavy whipping cream
4 ½ ounces Mexican manchego cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and add poblano peppers. Brush peppers with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
  • Roast poblano peppers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip and continue roasting until skin is charred and flesh is soft, about 20 minutes more.
  • Place roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and peel the skins from the peppers and remove seeds and stems. Cut peppers into strips.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook corn kernels until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add poblano pepper strips and corn; season with chicken bouillon granules and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cream and manchego cheese; simmer until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 whole poblano peppers
1 tablespoon canola oil or other vegetable oil
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
3/4 cup Mexican crema; crème fraîche may be substituted
4 8-inch or 6 6-inch flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Using a gas stove or grill, place peppers over an open flame, turning regularly, until roasted and charred all over. (Alternatively, peppers may be roasted on a baking sheet under a broiler.) Immediately transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to steam for 15 minutes. Peel off charred skin, remove stems and seeds, and cut into long strips 1/2 inch wide.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and peppers. Sauté for 1 minute, then stir in cilantro and lime juice. Add crema and stir until heated. If crema is thin, reduce until slightly thickened but still creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. If using crème fraîche, stir in and immediately remove pan from heat.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Heat tortillas on griddle until piping hot, turning once, 15 to 20 seconds on each side. To serve, place a tortilla on a warmed plate and add a serving of pepper mixture. Fold tortilla in half, gently flattening it, and serve immediately.
