Loved this recipe. I only made four as an appetizer with a freshly roasted chili and pepper jack cheese. Served it with Hot Pepper Garlic Jelly.

I grew up eating these on Football sundays. We used to fry up hundreds for the game and there would never be any leftovers. Being from CO this is the only chile relleno that I love! They are SUPER EASY to make. Super easy to eat. When I was really small my mom didn't put the chile in some just for us kids. Instead we got a whole lot of cheese. We used to use monterey jack and/or cheddar. I prefer pepperjack now because it adds a little extra something to them. We never used cornstarch (I am guessing that is to keep them from sticking together when made ahead of time). But they turn out fantastic. If you are looking for an easy appetizer recipe or just something different these are SOOOOO worth it! They taste great on their own but any kind of mexican dip/sauce would probably make these that much more yummy! Happy Eating!

I think the egroll wrapper idea is GENIOUS.I made a few small changes.I used fresh poblanos,instead of canned chiles.I sauteed the poblanos with tomatoes,onion and cilantro,and seasoned them with Goya Sazon.I used over-sized spring roll wrappers.I used 2 spring rolls at a time (to keep all of the juicy peppers inside),I put 1 slice of muenster cheese on the wrapper,added a heaping spoon of the pepper filling,added a slice of cheese on top,and rolled it up tightly.I sealed it with a small dab of flour-water paste,so it stayed sealed while frying.These were so quick to put together and everyone DEVOURED them.Whoever made up this idea of putting them inside a wrapper was brilliant.Authentic Chile Rellenos are a pain to make,and these have all of the flavor without the aggravion of peeling the peppers,whipping the egg batter and so on.Thanks!!

These were pretty good. I liked the ease of preparation. You could also buy mild diced green chilies and grated cheese and put them in won ton wrappers for small appetizers.
