Chile relleno is Spanish for “stuffed chile.” In New Mexico this particular dish is usually a cheese stuffed, battered and fried pepper, but chiles rellenos come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you fill them with meat or cheese, or whether you opt for mild or spicy peppers, as long as they’re stuffed, they can be called chiles rellenos.
