Okay, these really are the easiest things to make. There is very little prep work, and I think it only took us 10 minutes to make this entire meal. The kids love these "Chile rellanos", and we make mozzarella sticks out of the rest of the ingredients. Instead of margaritas to celebrate, we made homemade lemonade. Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone.
Ingredients
1 package of egg roll wraps
1 27 oz can WHOLE chilies, mild or heat of choice
16 string cheese sticks
Cream Cheese, if desired
Oil to cover egg rolls, about 4 inches deep in pan
Heat oil in pan, to about 375 degrees. Wash and make sure all seeds are removed from chilies, drain. Split the Chile down the side so it opens up into a triangle. Put one stick of string cheese in the middle of the Chile. I like to add a small amount of cream cheese as well, my dad likes just cream cheese, to each their own. Place the Chile on the egg roll wrap and roll up from and angle, see the picture. My kids love to help roll up the chilies, they are really good at it now, and it is a great way to get them involved in the cooking. Have some water handy to seal the egg roll to itself.
Put into the hot oil, make sure that an adult does this, as oil is hot and can splatter! After 2 minutes, turn and fry 1 minute more. Drain on paper towels. We make plenty of these, and then use the rest of the string cheese to make mozzarella sticks, just roll up the string cheese the same way, without the chili. Dip in salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or marinara sauce.
