Rajas con Crema Direction Help
The first thing you need to do for this recipe is to roast our peppers. In a non-stick pan, grill, or open flame you want to char you pepper. You want all the sides to be blistered. Once they have reached that stage, place them in a plastic bag. Tie it, flip it upside down, let it steam and cool. While it is cooling you want to mince your garlic and slice your onion.
After your peppers have cooled, you want to peel off the charged skin, open them up, remove the seeds, and slice into strips or bite-size pieces. Set off to the side. In a saute pan add your butter, garlic, and onions. Saute until fragrant, then add in your corn and poblanos. Saute for a couple of minutes to heat everything up. Add in your sour cream and cheese and mix together until melted and well incorporated. Adjust with some cayenne, salt and pepper and it is ready to enjoy!
