• 4 large peppers of your choice, traditionally you would use poblano peppers

• 4 eggs separated

• 1/2 cup of flour

• 2 teaspoon of dried chives

• 2 teaspoons dried oregano, prefereably Mexican oregano

• 1 tablespoon dried cilantro

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon cumin

• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 2 cups white shredded Mexican cheese

• 2 cups queso fresco sliced thinly

• 2 cups corn or vegetable oil for frying

Step 1

Broil peppers till charred, then place them in a Ziplock bag for 15-20 minutes. 

Step 2

Prepare flour mixture by combining the following ingredients. 1/2 cup of flour, 2 teaspoons of dried chives, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, prefereably Mexican oregano, 1 tablespoon dried cilantro, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika. Whisk your dry ingredients well, and set aside. 

Step 3

Separate 4 eggs into two separate bowls. First whip the egg whites either by hand or with a machine such as an electric mixer or Kitchenaid. After the eggs whites have been whipped till they are thick, add the yolks to the egg whites and whip again until all parts are combined. Keep your whipped eggs separate from flour mixture. 

Step 4

Open your ziplock bag with your peppers inside and remove the peppers. Now you wnt to remove the skin from the peppers by peeling it off with your fingers. You wan to be gentle when removing the skin so you don't rip your peppers. After the skin has been removed, make a small slit in the pepper and remove all the seeds. Grab some toothpicks in case the hole in the peppers gets too big, then you can use the toothpicks to pin them shut before frying. 

Step 5

Heat corn oil or vegetable oil in a frying pan or wok over medium. Use enough oil for half the pepper to be submerged in the pan you are using. 

Step 6

Get your cheese ready, you can use any kind of cheese you want, but I prefer to use a mixture of Mexican shredded cheese and queso fresco. Stuff your peppers with cheese, use toothpicks to hold them shut if needed. 

Step 7

Coat your peppers with the flour mixture, then follow with the egg mixture and then put them right into your hot oil. I cook them till they are browned on all sides, ususally about 4 minutes on each side. Once they are fried to your liking, remove them from the oil, let cool slightly, and ENJOY!!
