The two ingredient taco filling everyone should know how to make.

Everyone should know how to make the poblano con queso taco, why? Well, it takes less than 10 minutes, it's vegetarian as is, but is also fantastic with steak or chicken added to the melty goodness.

[@exalt.]

I made these tacos a while back, and they really are amazing for the minimal amount of effort you put in. One thing to note though is that if you do decide to remove the charred skin of the poblano, running the pepper under water definitely removes a lot of the flavor. I would highly recommend just roughing it out and peeling them dry.

[@GothicPotato2]

My thoughts exactly! I always used to rinse my charred peppers with water since it was so easy, but after reading that it removes a lot of the roasting flavor I did a side-by-side comparison and it was a surprisingly notable difference. Another recommendation is to get a propane torch and use that to char peppers as that allows one to roast a whole pepper in under a minute without fail.

[@quarkoftheseus152]

If you add some kind of diced beef, they're like a Philly cheese steak, only about 500% better, IMO.

[@alenyaclassic]

Char capsicums whole then close in a sealed container or bag for 15 minutes, and you can peel skin off easily by hand.

[@carolinalomeli9128]

Agreed, rinsing the pepper washes the delicious charred flavor off. Just cover the pepper in a bowl or plastic after charring and the peel easily comes off.

Oh and we used his Chilaquiles "salsa" (w/o the broth) as topping. OMG! It was sooo good. We made it into four servings with corn tortillas and the meat and beans totally filled us up. I promise I really meant to put some pickled onions on them that I made two days ago, but I didn't slow down eating them to get them out of the fridge. Yeah. they were that good. I'll have to make more of the Chilaquiles salsa to actually eat it as proper Chilaquiles because it's so good on everything else. I should can or freeze some. That stuff is delicious.

Just made this...omg so good. Never thought to use mayo as a a base of a marinade , and now my life is forever bettered. Thank you!

[@infin1ty850]

These looked so good and simple to make that I decided to do some with marinated beef last night after watching the video and they turned out spectacular. One of the few new recipes that both my wife and I both absolutely loved.

[@chukyuniqul]

Thanks, Ethan! Sadly all hot peppers in my country are titchy at best so I had to use bell peppers (learning the hard way that salt should not be taken for granted, but some hot sauce that was already salty solved that a bit) and I also learned that some cheeses (I used a smoked local variety) don't hold up all that well to heat. But on the flip side, they still pulled through and were quite delicious. I'm definitely adding this to my repertoire of food, especially since I can easily prepare dinner and breakfast for next day as well in just one hour of easy work.

Bro you just made taqueria level tacos at home! you are soooo invited to the asado or the baptism, which ever comes first

[@rexseven6907]

Made this last night with marinated flat iron steak and homemade pico de gallo on a blackstone griddle after scorching the peppers on a kamado. Top notch. Thanks for the idea. My wife has been bored with everything we make lately and craving something to get excited about. It really scratched that itch. Thanks again

[@altairsegundo7082]

I loove that you do hear the advise, this time you did mention how to remove the peppers skin just how we Mexicans do it, that’s awesome :). Just another piece of advise, unless it is al pastor meat, in Mexico taco meat is rarely seasoned with other thing than salt. Those those taco seasoning and chili powders they sell here in US regularly have A LOT of cumin and that changes the flavor for worse, just remember from your Mexico trip, do you recall tasting cumin? Yup we almost don’t use it, unless it is a very specific dish, and even then it’s just a pinch

[@lilbtyt7928]

i agree, im mexican too but he knows, he probably just prefers it that way.

[@xavvi]

Yes, there are places in Mexico that use cumin as a seasoning in certain things (the same influx of Lebanese people that brought us al pastor also brought over cumin) but I agree in general that those "taco seasoning" packets etc just aren't great.

[@sofisa11]

Mexican here, born and grown in México. I live in the US and I keep saying this, cumin is not largely used in Mexican gastronomy as a main ingredient or spice, like they make it sound here in the States. When cumin is used, it is only minimal, due to the strong, over powering flavor it has. It is used in lights amounts. I totally hate cumin flavor.

Hi Ethan, me and my boyfriend just made these with actual pablano peppers and Oaxaca cheese and OMG we have been having this twice a week! For those who like some spice, I would suggest adding in another pepper that's hotter (we used serrano) and it was very hot and 🥵 🔥. Thank you so much! Instead of beef we used chicken breast and we marinated with the mayonnaise marinade than Ethan does Everytime. Please keep these videos coming ♥️

[@tacobell.gourmand]

The meat is honestly unnecessary with these tbh, good addition if you got it but it's still filling without

[@m4k0v1ch]

The hot spicy part of Jalapeños are the "veins" and seeds. If you open the jalapeño and remove the seeds and use only the fleshy shell of the pepper you'll find it's not very spicy and even kind of sweet once cooked. If you can find large jalapeños just clean out the seeds and veins and substitute the poblanos for jalapeños, and do the recipe in the video. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

[@noemarzib]

What exactly does putting the cheese inside the pepper at the beginning accomplish? I'd imagine the result is the same if you just introduce the cheese in the pan searing step, and you wouldn't risk melty cheese on your stove burner :).

[@0llie999]

I was wondering the same thing - I can't imagine there would be any transfer of flavour that wouldn't also happen when it's fried.

[@enfusraye]

The video he had from his trip had it prepared that way so I'm sure he just went with it. I can't imagine there's too much flavor added unless you're cooking it over coals. What I think COULD be handy is using it as a guide for the cheese to pepper ratio.

[@alfredodlp7131]

My preferred method is to get rid of the seeds and whatever veins come out easily, slice up the poblano and start cooking it on a high heat skillet or pan. Adding some sliced onion is highly recommended. Once the pepper has gone tender and aromatic I just add shredded cheese and let them melt together. At this point just finish through just like ethan did here. I will point out that I always cook my tortillas a bit to make sure I get some browned spots on them. I find it helps a lot with flavor and tear resistance. Finally, for an extra texture and flavor kick you can brown the cheese into a crust. Something peculiar is that may like the mixture's texture more once it's cooled and firmed up a bit. I'd be surprised if anyone actually follwed my advice but hey, I wrote it out and got it out of my system. Ethan's method works just as well, I was just surprised that he did this recipe (rajas con queso) and wanted to compare it to my process which I think is a bit easier and less messy.

[@itchykami]

My first thought is it heats the cheese up early, and starts it melting, but I would need testing to see if that hypothesis holds. Delicious delicious testing.
