Mexican Goodness

Several weeks ago, my New Mexican friend received a little taste of home... a box of New Mexican Green Chilis!  She was kind enough to share several with me and even gave me the recipe for some KILLER rellenos.  Delish!

 To put you in the mood, you will need some guac and Santitas.

Things you need:
1) Green Chilils (real ones; not poblanos)
2) Block of Colby Jack cheese (some cut into small strips and some shredded)
3) Egg and Milk mixture
4) Flour, corn starch, salt and pepper mixture (Ball park these.  They will be used to bread the stuffed peppers.  Add whatever spices you like to the flour mixture.)
5) A hot boyfriend to do the grilling
Instructions:
1) Put the peppers on the grill until the skin turns black
2) Remove the stems and seeds
3) Run peppers under cool water, removing the skin and remaining seeds. (It has been suggested that you wear gloves.)
4) Stuff peppers with slices of cheese.

5) Roll stuffed peppers in egg and milk mixture; then cover in flour mixture.
6) Pan fry using canola oil (it's less fatty) (several minutes on each side), only flipping once.  If you flip the peppers more than that, the cheese will fall out.
7) Remove from oil and lightly cover with shredded cheese.
8) Enjoy the cheesy goodness!
