Crema Poblano

Method

Crema Poblano Preparation

1

Roast the Poblano Peppers

Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or in a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Place them in a plastic bag for about 10 minutes to steam. This makes peeling easier.

2

Blend the Crema

Once cooled, peel and seed the poblano peppers. In a blender, combine the roasted peppers, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Chilaquiles Assembly

3

Prepare the Eggs

In a nonstick skillet, cook the eggs to your preference (sunny-side up, scrambled, etc.) and set aside.

4

Heat the Frijoles

In a small saucepan, heat the frijoles over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

5

Assemble the Chilaquiles

In a large serving dish, layer the tortilla chips, followed by the warmed frijoles, shredded chicken, and diced onion. Drizzle the crema poblano over the top.

6

Top with Eggs and Garnish

Place the cooked eggs on top of the layered ingredients. Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco, chopped cilantro, and diced tomatoes.

7

Serve Immediately

Serve the chilaquiles hot with additional crema poblano on the side if desired.
