Chiles Rellenos with Cilantro Lime Crema is a delicious Mexican dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is made with roasted poblano peppers that are stuffed with a savory mixture of cheese and spices, then topped with a creamy cilantro lime crema. The dish is then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a mouth-watering combination of flavors.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 large poblano peppers
- 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Cut a small slit in each poblano pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheeses, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture and place them in a baking dish.
Bake the peppers for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. While the peppers are baking, prepare the cilantro lime crema by combining the sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Once the peppers are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve the peppers with a dollop of the cilantro lime crema on top.

The roasted poblano peppers add a smoky flavor to the dish, while the cheese mixture provides a savory and gooey texture.
