Chili Relleno Balls are a delicious, creative twist on the classic Mexican chili relleno. These bite-sized treats are made with mild chili peppers stuffed with cheese, then battered and fried to crispy perfection. They make for an excellent appetizer, snack, or party treat!<\/p>\n
For the Chili Relleno Balls:<\/strong><\/p>\n 6-8 mild chili peppers (Anaheim, poblano, or similar)<\/p>\n 1 \u00bd cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or Oaxaca)<\/p>\n 1\/4 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)<\/p>\n 1 cup flour (for batter)<\/p>\n 1 teaspoon baking powder<\/p>\n 1\/4 teaspoon garlic powder<\/p>\n 1\/4 teaspoon cumin powder<\/p>\n 1\/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for extra flavor)<\/p>\n 1 egg<\/p>\n 3\/4 cup milk (adjust as needed for batter consistency)<\/p>\n Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n Vegetable oil (for frying)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Begin by roasting the chili peppers. You can do this by placing them directly on a gas stove or broiling them in the oven, turning them until the skin is charred on all sides.<\/p>\n Once roasted, place the peppers in a covered bowl or plastic bag for about 10-15 minutes to loosen the skin.<\/p>\n Peel off the skin, then carefully slice the peppers open and remove the seeds. You should be left with a hollow pepper for stuffing.<\/p>\n Stuff each pepper with the shredded cheese. Make sure to leave enough space at the ends for sealing.<\/p>\n After stuffing, lightly dust the outside of the peppers with a bit of flour. This helps the batter adhere better while frying.<\/p>\n In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients, and whisk until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the chiles without dripping off easily. Adjust with more milk or flour if needed.<\/p>\n Once the peppers are stuffed and dusted with flour, carefully dip them into the batter, coating them evenly.<\/p>\n Use your hands or a spoon to form the battered peppers into ball shapes, pressing gently to seal them into compact, round forms.<\/p>\n Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium heat. You\u2019ll need enough oil to submerge the chili balls.<\/p>\n Once the oil is hot (around 350\u00b0F or 175\u00b0C), carefully place the chili balls in the oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.<\/p>\n Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the balls are golden brown and crispy on all sides.<\/p>\n Once cooked, remove the chili balls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.<\/p>\n Serve the chili relleno balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.<\/p>\n Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of flavor.<\/p>\n These Chili Relleno Balls<\/strong> are a perfect combination of cheese-filled deliciousness, a crispy batter, and a hint of spice from the chiles. They\u2019re easy to make and will definitely be a hit at any gathering! \ud83c\udf36\ufe0f\ud83e\uddc0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chili Relleno Balls are a delicious, creative twist on the classic Mexican chili relleno.
