These CHILES RELLENOS are a family favorite, my mom made them often when I was growing up, and I have continued the tradition since. Chiles Rellenos are a very popular traditional dish mot only in Mexico but all over Texas and many States around the Country. There are different ways of making them and there are also many different options for fillings. Poblano peppers are very versatile and family friendly since they are considered mild in heat and can be roasted and filled or cut into strips and added to many different dishes, Soups and stews. Ground beef and potatoes or potatoes and cheese are a favorite in my house, but the best part is you can make them your own.
