HOW TO MAKE CHILE RELLENOS: Delicious, Easy Recipe, Using Hatch Green Chile

If you've ever wanted to learn how to make delicious Chile Rellenos using Hatch green chile, then you've come to the right place. This is an easy recipe, with step-by-step instructions for perfect rellenos every time. I grew up in southern New Mexico, and we're known not just for our chile, but our chile rellenos.

Chile Rellenos
(Amounts will vary based on number of rellenos)

Ingredients:
Hatch green chile, roasted & peeled, with stems left on
eggs (figure one egg per chile)
cheese (cheddar, muenster, or monterrey jack, cut in thick slices)
onion, finely chopped
all-purpose flour
salt

Cut a 2 inch slit from the upper to middle section of each chile pod. Try to remove as many of the seeds as you can while keeping that opening as small as possible. Carefully fill each chile with cheese and onion through that opening. Once all your chiles are filled, you can make the batter.
Separate your eggs, putting the egg whites in a large mixing bowl, and setting aside the yolks in a smaller bowl. Use a mixer to beat the egg whites until they peak. Then add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2 Tablespoons flour to the egg yolks that are in the smaller bowl. (If you're making more than six rellenos, you'll want to up that amount.) Whisk that yolk mixture together. It will form a thick yellow paste. Then add it to your egg whites and mix well to make your batter. Now put about a cup of flour in a shallow dish. It’s helpful if you place the stuffed chiles, the flour, and the batter next to your stove, forming an assembly line. Heat up a large frying pan, with just a little bit of olive or vegetable oil to coat the bottom. Once the pan is hot, take a stuffed chile and dip it first in the flour, then dip it in the egg batter, making sure it's covered on all sides. Then carefully place it in the frying pan. Cook on one side and then the flip it over until both sides are golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!

That is the main thing I miss about living in Arizona I used to go to hatch New Mexico every August And buy 8 bags of chilies During harvest 50-75lbs ea yep 500+ lbs. Straight from there we would go elk hunting in northern Arizona roast Chili's In the smoker and make all kinds of wonderful dishes but I never mastered chili rellenos which is my favorite And besides harvesting gallons and gallons of chili oil we would freeze enough chilies for the entire year and then some, Thank you for the video and the wonderful memories it invoked.

Chili rellanos are my absolute favorite. I’ve never made them myself, but growing up in SW Colorado, we had lots of places to get good ones. Now in the Midwest… I need to make them myself.

I too grew up in Mesilla Valley and lived in Hatch for several years. Love Chile Rellenos and was taught almost identical except we add cream of tartar to egg whites before folding in the beaten yolks. ❤

Great recipe. I spent 11 years in AZ, and fell in love with Sonoran style of Mexican food. Please post how to make a good cheese crisp.

My Irish American husband was watching this video with me. He was enthusiastic for when I'd make him some. No doubt his response would be like your husband's -- The man LOVES chilis, Latin food & culture. Hatch chilis are hitting the stores right now. Guess I know what's for dinner tomorrow 😄🌶
