Does anyone have a recipe for chili rellanos using egg roll wrappers

It's not really a recipe but:

 

whole chiles (and it's Hatch chile season!)

Cheddar/monterey jack cheese, shredded

Egg roll wrappers.

 

Make sure chiles are dry--split on one side and stuff with whatever--cheese, meat, chicken.  Wrap with an egg roll wrapper and fry in oil until golden brown.  I've never tried to do these in an air fryer though--that is probably a healthier option.

I saw this on the internet. It yields 24.

 

  • 2 (12 ounce) packages egg roll wrappers

     
  • 1 (27 ounce) can whole green chiles - seeded, drained well, and patted dry

     
  • 1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 3x1/2-inch thick strips

     
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

  1. Lay a wrapper on a work surface diagonally, so it resembles a diamond. Place a slice of green chile horizontally across wrapper, 1 inch above the bottom point. Lay a strip of Monterey Jack cheese on top of chile.

     
  2. Dip an index finger into a small bowl of water and moisten the wrapper edges. Roll wrapper up and over chile and cheese, starting from the point closest to you. Bring in both sides, making sure to press firmly to seal filling. Continue rolling away from you to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining wrappers, chiles, and cheese.

     
  3. Heat approximately 1/2 inch oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

     
  4. Working in batches, fry rolls in hot oil, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

     

Tips

This is a good springboard recipe. The amount of chiles and cheese is a basic guideline. If you use more chiles and cheese than specified, your recipe will yield less than 24 egg rolls and vice versa.

 

There are also recipes from several Youtubers that look promising. Hope this helps.😊

I really like the recipe from Isabel Eats site: CHILE RELLENO RECIPE

 

It has a few steps to it....but it makes for authentic tasting chile rellenos. If you go to site, I also recommend reading the comments as there are a few very good tips from people who have made the recipe a few times.
