Rajas Con Crema/Creamy Roasted Poblanos

6 fresh poblano chilies
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 white onion, sliced lengthwise (root to tip), 1/4-inch slices
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Mexcian crema (Mexican sour cream) or crème fraîche
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Place the raw whole chile peppers directly on the grate covering the flame and let the flame blacken the outside skin of the peppers. When one side has blackened, use tongs to turn the chile over so the flame can blacken the other sides.

Let the chilis steam in their own heat for a few minutes and then peel the outer skin away.

Use your fingers or a damp towel to strip off the blackened parts. This part is messy.

open up the chiles and cut out and discard the stems, seeds, and inner veins. Cut the chiles into long strips,

Cook onions until translucent and combine with pepper strips.

Add crema, cheese, and milk.

While my kids were in Baja they really enjoyed this dish that was on the buffet at the resort. We found a recipe and included it in our Easter dinner for the entire family to enjoy.

Great addition to Easter menu 🙂 we put poblano chilies on hamburgers sometimes. The was a grill in California that put poblanos on hamburgers (Ole! is what they called it lol). When we were running our stores we had vinyl gloves in the kitchen, we always brought some home and used them when handling chilies.

I hope you enjoyed the dish too.
Is it a spicy dish? I would cook a similar dinner, but I'm afraid my family might not like it.

I would add more Easter eggs to the plate.

It is spicy! We had plenty of eggs. I'm still eating egg salad sandwiches!
