If there’s one type of cuisine we can all agree on, it’s probably Mexican. There’s a reason it’s famous across the world– it’s absolutely delicious. From tacos, to burritos, to enchiladas, and tamales, I could eat it every day and not get tired of it. I’ve tried my hand at making many different Mexican dishes at home, but one I have never tackled is Chile Relleno.
If you aren’t familiar with this dish, it’s traditionally a green chile stuffed with cheese (and sometimes meat), that’s dipped in egg and fried. Yum! I love ordering it at food trucks or our local Mexican spot, but something about frying them up at home has always intimidated me. And that is where this Chile Relleno Bake comes in!
This casserole takes all the traditional flavors of Chile Relleno and layers them into one simple dish. It’s the perfect version for feeding a crowd as it easily feeds eight people. Slice it up and top with sour cream, salsa, cilantro, and sliced avocado for a real treat!
