The dish Chile rellenos are by far one of my most favorite Mexican dishes. The thing is that majority of the time they tend to be unhealthy due to the flour, egg, and frying. The way I make them makes the chiles much more healthier and you still enjoy the authentic flavors. Your entire family will enjoy this dish and ask you to make more.

Instructions
Here is an image of the ingredients I will be adding to my blender.
I first add all the ingredients (except sour cream) to blender then add my 3 cups of water. You can see once you add the water it looks like it makes 4 cups of water.
You will then add your sour cream, blend on high for about 3 minutes, and you will set aside.
You will then add non stick spray to your aluminum foil and get your poblano peppers and broil.
After about 6-8 minutes you will flip your peppers so the other side gets nice and roasted.
While your peppers are cooking you will chop some iceberg lettuce and get some sprouts and set aside.
Once your peppers are ready you will wait for them to cool down, peel skin, and stuff with your cheese. With cheese you will not measure 3 ounces to stuff. I want you to be mindful when stuffing your peppers so add what you would think is equivalent to 3 ounces. Here is the thing we cannot go our entire lifes measuring so we have to learn how to be mindful. Once they are stuffed you will set aside.
You will then add a drizzle of vegetable oil to your pan and add you sauce.
Once your sauce begins to boil (it will turn a different color) you will add a little bit of consume. Be mindful when adding.
You will then add your chiles to your sauce mix, put on low, and cover.
You will then warm up your low carb tortilla and add your lettuce, sprouts, and Chile relleno.
And here you have your delicious Chile relleno ladies y comadres. Highly recommend give it a try :)
