Claudia’s Rajas Con Crema
Last month’s potluck inspired so many ideas for our Recipe-ish of the Month! 💛 This time, we’re sharing Claudia’s Rajas con Crema — a comforting Mexican classic made with roasted poblano strips simmered in a creamy sauce of Mexican crema, milk, and cheese, with onions, garlic, and sweet corn. Here’s the recipe!
Ingredients
- 4–5 poblano peppers
- ½ onion, sliced
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream)
- ½–1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or similar)
- Salt to taste
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- Roast the poblano peppers over a flame or in a hot pan until the skin is charred.
- Place them in a bowl and cover for 10 minutes to steam.
- Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and slice into strips.
- In a pan, sauté the sliced onion in a little oil until soft and translucent.
- Add the poblano strips and corn. Cook for a few minutes.
- Stir in the crema and shredded cheese. Cook on low heat until the cheese melts and everything is creamy and combined.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
