Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup Mexican crema, crema fresca

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules

  • 5 poblano peppers

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 onions, thickly sliced

  • 1 cup drained canned corn kernels

Directions

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

  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. 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.

Recipe Tip

If the crema and cream cheese mixture is too thick, you can make it lighter by adding a little milk.
