Ingredients
- 4 fresh poblano chillies don't recommend using tinned ones as substitute
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 white or yellow onion
- 1 fresh corn kernels cut off
- 100 g cream cheese
- 100 ml thickened cream
- salt to taste
Instructions
- On a grill or frying pan, char the whole poblano chillie on all sides. Place the chillies in a glass or plastic container for 10-15 minutes. The chillies will soften up and continue cooking in their own steam.
- Using your fingers or a damp towel peel off the skin from the chillies by stripping off the blackened parts. Then open up the chillies and cut out and discard the stems, seeds, and inner veins. Cut the chillies into long stripes, about 1cm wide.
- Heat the butter (can use vegetable oil instead if you want) in a large frying pan on medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the corn kernels and chilli stripes and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the cream cheese and thickened cream. Let cook for several minutes, until the chiles are completely cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and a little reduced.
- Reheat your tortillas and fill them up with 'rajas con crema'
