Stuffed Anaheim Chiles with Goat Cheese
Chiles Rellenos con Queso de ChivaLong green Anaheim chiles are usually quite mild, but occasionally can be spicy. Look for bright green, fresh, unblemished chiles that are firm. Avoid soft and wrinkled chiles. Stuffed with goat cheese and served on a pool of tomato sauce, they make an exceptional first course.
