Ingredients
- 1/4 medium onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 Anaheim chile peppers
- 1 tsp + 1 cup canola oil
- 1/4 pound lean ground beef
- 2 ounces asadero cheese
- 2 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Preparation
- Dice the onion and mince the garlic clove.
- In either a hot skillet or directly onto the flame, heat chile peppers until skin is evenly blackened. Carefully, wrap chiles in plastic wrap or paper bag to continue to soften and cool.
- Place 1 teaspoon oil, diced onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat to soften. Add ground beef and cook until it crumbles and is brown. Set aside in a bowl.
- Once chile peppers have cooled, peel off blackened skin and cut in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and clean out the inside.
- Add the asadero and ricotta cheeses to the cooled ground beef mixture. Stuff each chile half with this mixture.
- In a small bowl beat the egg white.
- Heat oil in a skillet. Coat each chile with a light layer of flour and then dip into the egg white to cover. Fry each chile in oil until golden.
Helpful hints
- Run chiles under cold water to remove blackened skin.
- Substitute poblano chiles or small bell peppers if Anaheim chiles are unavailable.
- Queso asadero is a creamy semi-soft white cheese often used in Mexican cooking. If unavailable substitute mozzarella cheese.
