A savory Mexican dish that can easily be turned into vegetarian by replacing the chicken bouillon for vegetable bullion . The cream tones down the heat of the poblano peppers. You won't have enough! Serve with warm corn tortillas.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups Mexican crema , crema fresca
  • 1 package cream cheese , 8 ounce
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 5 poblanos peppers
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onions , thickly sliced
  • 1 cup drained canned corn kernels

Instructions

  1. 1

    Blend the crema, cream cheese, and chicken bouillon in a blender until smooth; set aside.

  2. 2

    Place the peppers on a large griddle over medium-high heat. Roast until the skin blisters and turns black. Remove peppers from griddle and place in a plastic bag, allowing them to sweat for 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Peel and discard the outer skin of the peppers; halve length-wise and remove the seeds and veins. Slice into thick strips. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook the onion in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the corn into the onions, reduce the heat to medium, and cook another 5 minutes. Add the poblano strips to the saucepan. Pour the cream mixture over the vegetables and bring to a simmer; cook at a simmer until hot, about 5 minutes more.
