Directions
Ancho Chile Relleno, I saw this on a cooking show, I can’t remember what channel it was on but it came out soooo good It is the right mixture of a sweet/spicey chile with a nice red sauce I would imagaine a good enchilada sauce would work as well Typically Chile Rellen’s are made using pablano chile’s or anaheim chile’s, but this is just as wonderful tasting as the others Give it a try!
