Ingredients

• 6 Poblano chiles

• 1.5 cups Corn kernels
• 1 cup Crema
• 3/4 cup Queso fresco
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic

Steps

1. Char the poblanos over a flame until blackened, steam in a bag 10 minutes, peel, and cut into rajas.
2. Sauté the sliced onion in butter 8 minutes until soft and sweet, then add the garlic for 1 minute.
3. Add the rajas and corn and cook 5 minutes until everything is tender and glossy.
4. Pour in the crema and simmer 5 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the rajas.
5. Season with salt — the dish should be rich, mild, and faintly sweet.
