Cheese Stuffed Chile Rellenos Egg Rolls

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This is exactly what I was looking for. I worked in a little Mexican restaurant in Ovid, Colorado in the mid 2000's; we used Monterey Jack cheese and the egg roll wrappers. One canned whole chile, one small slice of cheese (maybe 1/4 inch thick and 1.5x3 inches or so), moisten the edges and fold into little "envelopes." I miss those things! They my favorite after-work meal: 2 CR's with just a little green chili, a heaping helping of guacamole and some sour cream. A 16 year old's dream! Lol.

Lol , used to work at a Mexican Food Resteraunt in Littleton when I was in High School that is now out of business I worked in the kitchen and this recepi is very similar to what we used to make I’m not sure if they used egg roll wraps as our chili rellenos were actually prepared by someone in the family and brought in frozen several times a week I have been trying to replicate their recepi and never thought of egg roll wraps but that makes sense I’m going to try it tonight And we covered ours in home made green chili and garneshed with chopped lettuce Oh the resteraunt started with Mission
