Chiles Rellenos is a popular Mexican dish that originated in the city of Puebla. The dish consists of poblano chiles that are stuffed with cheese, dipped in egg batter, and fried until golden brown. The dish is usually served with a tomato-based sauce. For this recipe, we've added a twist by serving the dish with a roasted red pepper sauce. The sauce is made by roasting red bell peppers until they are charred and then blending them with fresh orange juice and salt. The sauce adds a unique tangy flavor to the dish, making it a perfect accompaniment to the cheese-stuffed chiles. Chiles Rellenos With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is a dish that is full of flavor and perfect for a special occasion or a dinner party with friends and family.

Instructions

1.Roast the bell peppers until the skin is charred and wrinkled.
2.Place the charred peppers in a paper bag and let them sit for 10 minutes.
3.Peel and remove the seeds from the peppers and discard the stems. Cut the peppers into thin strips.
4.Cut a slit in the top of each poblano chile and remove the seeds and membranes. Stuff each chile with the goat cheese and Monterey Jack cheese, then press the edges together to seal.
5.Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Fold in the egg whites.
6.Mix the flour, cornmeal, and salt together and spread it on a flat plate.
7.Heat the oil in a large skillet until it shimmers. Dredge each pepper in the flour mixture and dip it in the egg mixture.
