Chiles Rellenos are a popular Mexican dish consisting of stuffed peppers coated in egg batter and fried. This recipe is a quick and easy version of that dish, using flour tortillas instead of egg batter. The chiles are stuffed with cheese and wrapped in tortillas, then smothered in a creamy sauce and baked until golden and bubbly. This dish is perfect for busy weeknights when you need a satisfying and delicious dinner in a hurry. It is also a great way to use up leftover tortillas and cheese from other recipes.
