How to make Jalapeno Peppers Stuffed with Cheese:
To make this stuffed jalapeños recipe, first roast the chiles directly over the heat so you can remove the skin. Turn them over regularly so that they cook very well on all sides and, when they have changed their texture and hue, store them in a plastic bag so that they sweat and it is much easier to clean them.
While the chiles rest, blend the tomatoes with the piece of onion, the clove of garlic and a cup of water.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pot, strain the tomato sauce, add the half cup of chicken broth, season with salt and pepper to taste and let it cook for 5 minutes. When it starts to boil, add a sprig of epazote and let it cook for 5 more minutes.
Once the chiles have rested in the plastic bag, proceed to clean them. To do this, you can help yourself with a spoon to remove the skin, then cut them in the middle, remove the seeds and the veins.
Proceed to fill the jalapeño peppers with the cheese in strips. Once stuffed, pass them through wheat flour to weather them later.
Tip: if the stuffed jalapeños open too much, secure them with wooden toothpicks, but remember to remove them before serving to avoid accidents.
For the weathering, separate the egg whites from the yolks, whip the egg whites until stiff, add the yolks one by one and continue beating.
Tip: for the filling you can use the cheese that you like the most, such as Manchego cheese and even Philadelphia type.
Heat half a cup of oil in a pan, dip the chiles in the mixture to coat them and make sure they are well covered. Then, fry the jalapeños stuffed with weathered cheese until golden brown, remove them from the oil and place them on absorbent paper.
Serve the cheese-stuffed jalapeño peppers with a little tomato sauce and enjoy. You can accompany this delicious dish with corn tortillas, white bread or with a little rice.
