Helpful Tips and Tricks

Roasting and cleaning the peppers can be a little tricky. Make sure the skin on the peppers is evenly charred by rotating the peppers a few times while roasting. When you remove the skin try to use a paper towel or scrape scrape it off with the back of a spoon. Do not touch your face or eyes! Even when poblano peppers are generally mild, the oils could still irritate your skin.

The traditional Rajas con Crema is a creamier dish, often served as a side dish or in tacos or gorditas. I added a little bit of flour to make it more like a dip consistency since we ate it with tortilla chips. This is optional, you can leave the flour out a just have the creamier version of this dish.
