One of the wonderful Southern Cal traditions is to visit the oldest Mexican Food Restaurant of Los Angeles! I am speaking of El Cholo’s on Western Avenue. It doesn’t matter when I visit, I will always have — as part of the meal — their very delicious Chili Relleno!
Okay, I didn’t actually steal their recipe, in fact, I bought it in one of their two very nice recipe books!
Now, they also offer versions with a little more zip, but as a main meal or a side dish this one is just fine! I made a few alterations to accommodate all of the chili’s I had purchased and used a little salsa… but I stayed fairly true to the source. yum!
Enjoy this relatively guilt free… okay, feel guilty… but it is worth it!
