Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your broiler to high. Place the Hatch green chiles on a baking sheet and broil for 10-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the skins are blistered and charred. Remove and cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted chiles into a ziplock bag and seal tightly. Allow them to steam for 10-15 minutes. Peel off the charred skins.
- Cut a slit down the side of each roasted chile and remove the seeds. Stuff each chile with Oaxaca cheese, using toothpicks to secure the opening.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the egg yolks and any additional flavors.
- Combine flour, salt, and garlic powder in a shallow dish. Mix evenly to season the batter.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Dredge each stuffed chile in the flour mixture, dip in batter, and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
- Blend together tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, and a pinch of salt for the sauce. Then, simmer until bubbling.
- Dry the fried chiles on paper towels, then serve hot with the sauce over them.
