Make New Mexican Style Chile Rellenos With Me

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and provides a cheesy flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Water can be used to reduce calories, though it alters texture.

Boil a roast until cooked, then shred the meat using a blender to achieve a fine shred.

Shape the shredded meat into hand-shaped rellenos.

Dip each relleno into egg whites, then coat with a mixture of onion powder, salt, pepper, and flour.

Dust off excess flour from the rellenos.

Fry the coated rellenos in oil until the breading is cooked and holds its shape.
