Chiles Rellenos are a classic dish from Mexican cuisine, featuring large, roasted poblano peppers stuffed with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, meat, or vegetables. After being filled, the peppers are dipped in an egg batter and lightly fried, giving them a golden, crispy exterior. Often served with salsa or tomato sauce, they are a flavorful and satisfying dish. Nutritionally, Chiles Rellenos bring the benefits of poblano peppers, including vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. However, the frying process and cheese filling can add significant calories, fat, and sodium. Opting for baked versions or healthier fillings like beans and quinoa can make the dish more balanced. Chiles Rellenos exemplify the vibrant flavors of traditional Mexican cooking while offering opportunities for creative, nutritious adaptations.
