Crispy Chili Rellenos
Chili rellenos are fun to make and they’re really tasty. You can try different kinds of breading, chilies and cheese, whatever you like. These hot, crunchy snacks are always a wonderful treat.
Ingredients
- 12 long green chili peppers roasted, peeled and de-seeded
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs
- Shredded cheese or cheese sticks as needed
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Stuff each chili pepper with cheese and roll up.
- Arrange them on a wax paper lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 to 2 hours or until firm.
- Put the buttermilk in one dish, the breadcrumbs in another and the flour in a third.
- Dip each frozen chili relleno in the buttermilk and then in the flour and then back into the buttermilk, followed by the breadcrumbs.
- Repeat with the rest of them.
- Fry in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until they float up. You’ll need to cook them in batches unless you have an enormous fryer.
- Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
- Enjoy!
