👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Roast the poblano peppers until the skins are blackened and blistered on all sides. This can be done over an open gas flame (medium-high heat), under a broiler (high heat), or on a grill. For broiler method, place peppers on a baking sheet and position about 4-6 inches from the heat source, turning every few minutes until evenly charred. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Transfer the hot peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Let them steam for 10-15 minutes; this loosens the skins.
⏱️ 25 minutes (includes steaming time) - 2
Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, carefully peel off the charred skin. Make a slit down one side of each pepper, remove the stem and seeds. Slice the peeled peppers into thin strips (rajas). Set aside.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Heat the vegetable oil or butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Do not brown the onions.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 4
Add the poblano strips (rajas) and corn kernels (if using) to the skillet with the onions. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are slightly tender and the corn is heated through.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the crema and stir gently to combine with the rajas and onions. Allow the mixture to heat through gently for about 5 minutes, but do not boil, as this can cause the crema to separate. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Add the shredded Oaxaca cheese to the skillet. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the creamy sauce. This should only take a minute or two. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 7
Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions (e.g., on a dry skillet, in the microwave, or wrapped in foil in the oven). Serve the rajas con crema immediately with the warm tortillas.

💡 专业技巧
- ✓The term 'rajas' in Spanish means 'strips,' referring to the way the poblano peppers are cut.
- ✓Charring the poblano peppers well is key. A good char not only adds flavor but also makes the skin easier to peel.
- ✓This dish is incredibly versatile. It works beautifully as a vegetarian main course served in tacos or burritos, or as a flavorful side dish to grilled meats or chicken.
- ✓If you can't find Oaxaca cheese, Monterey Jack or a mild white cheddar will provide a similar melty texture.
