Chile relleno

A whole chile stuffed with cheese, meat or another filling. Poblano chiles are common. One familiar preparation coats the stuffed chile in an airy egg batter, fries it and serves it with tomato-based sauce or broth. But relleno simply means "stuffed," and regional preparations vary. Chiles en nogada, a celebrated Puebla dish, are stuffed with picadillo, covered in walnut sauce and garnished with pomegranate and parsley, producing the green, white and red colors of the Mexican flag.
