Before we get started, what is chile relleno?
Chile relleno is a Mexican dish that originated in the city of Puebla and it means “stuffed chile.” This tasty dish is most often made by stuffing poblano peppers with Mexican cheese like Oaxaca or Chihuahua. The pepper is then coated with egg, battered, and fried (though you can also make baked chile relleno as we did here). It’s then served alone or with some type of tomato sauce or salsa.
The dish is popular in the USA, too, and Americans often make the dish using cheeses like asadero, Monterey Jack, or even cheddar. You may sometimes see the peppers stuffed with meat, though our chile relleno casserole recipe is a vegetarian version.
How do you pronounce chile relleno?
This dish originates from Mexico and some people may be curious how to pronounce it. In Spanish, double “L”s are pronounced more like a “Y” and the “R” is slightly rolled. To say this dish properly, practice saying “Chi-leh-ree-ay-no.”
See YouTube or the Cambridge Dictionary to hear how this dish is pronounced!
