          I experimented with this recipe yesterday and it worked wonderfully
(serving is based for 1 person and I got two meals out of it --- one relleno
last night and one today):

2 large Poblano peppers (I get mine at the local mexican grocery)
Chihuahua cheese (purchased from local mexican grocery)
Ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes or salsa
Chipolte spice
Onions (if you like)
Garlic Salt
Black pepper
Other spices of your choice

Wash the Poblano peppers and place them on a pizza pan (I use a metal one with
holes) in a 500 degree preheated oven until they are blackend.  You may have to
turn them during this process.  Once they're blackened, remove them and place
them in a sealed paper bag for 20-30 minutes (this allows them to roast).  

While the poblanos are in the bag, brown the beef and onions and stir in the
diced tomatoes and Chipolte pepper, garlic salt, black pepper, and any other
spices you like.  

When you remove the poblanos from the paper bag, peel off the skin (it will be
like peeling sunburned skin) and wash them.  Cut a slit into each one and cut
out the seed pod and remove any unwanted seeds (I like them) and stuff with
narrow slices of the Chihuahua cheese.  Place in an uncovered  casserole and
pour the tomato/beef mixture over them and bake in a preheated oven 425
degrees.  Bake for 15-20 minutes.  When I made this, I refrigerated it
overnight in the casserole before baking.   If you like cilantro, top with
fresh cilantro.

If you like chile rellenos, but not the breading, give this a shot!

You can also do Chile Rellenos without the batter by simply roasting
the pepper, stuffing with meat, cheese, etc. and heating in the oven
until the cheese melts. Top with salsa and sour cream or creme fresca.

I do them that way using enchilada fillings and top with enchilada sauce and
cheese.. they have become a family favorite!

I grew up in Carlsbad NM, went to college in Las Cruces while living just
outside Organ, then moved back to Carlsbad to work at the WIPP site as a
software engineer.
I used to go fossil-hunting in the hills on the other side of the Rio Grande
from Hatch.  It was a great place to find crinoids, brachyopods, and the
occasional trilobite even.

I live in Colorado now, but still have fond memories of southern New Mexico
and visit there often.

       That sounds wonderful!  I am having chile rellenos again tonight.  I
love poblano peppers and plan to plant my garden full of them this year, but
we'll see how the weather is here in zone 6.  They have such a unique flavor.

I use them in place of bell peppers in everything I can because I cannot
STAND bells, lol. I was telling my husband I want to get them (poblanos)
going in my garden as well.. always have jalapenos and serranos.. don't know
why I never bothered to try poblanos. I would have all the ingredients for
some of my recipes right in my backyard since I always have tomatoes out the
wazoo. Onions do pretty well too.. need to work on the cilantro though..
that's usually easier to just buy since it's so cheap.

- I only made them once before low carbing, they were great, and I think
they could be low carbed-
My recipe uses flour to coat the chilies, but not to make the coating which
is 3 eggs separated, whites beaten till stiff then fold in the yolks. The
chilies were canned whole or roasted first then a slice of jack cheese.
Served with a quick tomato sauce. I can type this all out if you need it.
I wonder how necessary the flour is to make the egg batter stick??

I think since it's such a small amount of flour, you could either mix
regular with wheat gluten maybe? or just use the gluten flour? small amounts
of it don't give me a problem but for those that it does, it might be an
alternative if it's really needed.
