Hey @BrianGSDTexoma
Here is another idea for you. The Chile relleno.

These were delicious.

[BrianGSDTexoma]

They look really good. You stuff them?

 

[SmokinEdge]

Yes with cheese.

OHHHHH MAN! That is a perfect sample of a "Chile relleno"!!!

I happened to have one at a local joint just yesterday and eat them often!

Looks great! Been wanting to make chile rellano forever, but never got around to it yet. Maybe the kick I need to get me going on it lol.

We use a meringue style batter. I’ll post if any interest.

Relleno batter
————————

4 eggs
3/4 tsp baking powder
4 Tbs. Flour
1/4 tsp. Salt

Directions
————-—-
Separate egg yokes. Beat whites with a wire whip until stiff (Meringue style) Beat yokes in a separate bowl until thick. Add dry ingredients to the yokes mix well then fold that into the stiff whites.

This batter ends up very “pillowy” so dont be alarmed. Dredge the stuffed Chile into that fluffy mixture and be hands on pushing it into and flip and repeat. The batter sticks very well and fries up very light in texture. Probably the best I’ve ever eaten.

EDIT TO ADD: this batter recipe will coat about 6 large chiles or about 8 medium sized chiles.

These were done GF with Cup 4 Cup flour.

Thanks! One of the GF flours I keep on hand is Cup 4 Cup. It doesn't entirely behave the same as wheat flour as a replacement, but one of the better alternatives out there.

Thank you!!! I will be doing this soon! I have a prime TT in a vac bag with a Mexican marinade that these would make a nice addition to!

Hope you try it, I know you will like it, but just so you know, that batter mix will coat about 6 larger chiles so plan accordingly.

Point for sure
