Chiles Rellenos: it’s like a magic word. Say it, and you’ll instantly get a whole room of hungry people drooling. Translation: Stuffed Chilis, it just doesn’t evoke the same feeling. Chilies stuffed with what? You ask. Well, pretty much anything! But if you want your chiles rellenos to bring back memories of a meal served at your favorite south of the border restaurant, then you’re going to want to use some traditional ingredients, like rice and beans for instance.

Jennifer stuffs her Chiles Rellenos with rice and beans and other vegan-friendly ingredients we all can appreciate. She adds a bit of her own flair by stuffing the poblano peppers with anasazi beans and brown rice. Because a savory Mexican meal isn’t complete without a bit of lime flavor, at least in my humble opinion, Jennifer adds the juice of one lime. To ensure that her chiles rellenos are really good to the last bite and healthy, Jennifer also throws in a few mushrooms and squash.
