I used to work in a very nice Mexican restaurant in Chicago, and I particularly loved their chiles rellenos. I had so much respect for the woman that made them—hers always came out perfect every time. I’ve always been a bit apprehensive about trying them myself—having the oil the perfect temperature to make the egg wash puff up perfectly has always seemed a bit tricky.
This casserole, on the other hand, does not require any special skills. While it’s no substitute for a perfectly made chile relleno in your favorite Mexican restaurant, it’s a great way to bring those flavors into your kitchen. I love this casserole for breakfast, with fresh corn tortillas.
