Hatch Green Chile Relleno · El Paso
A whole Hatch long green chile, roasted until charred, stuffed with a mix of Chihuahua or Monterey Jack cheese, then battered in egg white and fried until.
The chile relleno is a classic Mexican dish but El Paso's adaptation using Hatch New Mexico chiles is specific to the borderland. The proximity to the Hatch Valley (60 miles north) gave El Paso chefs access to the hottest, most flavourful chiles in the region. L and J Cafe has served a version of this dish since 1927.
