I wanted to try to create a pinwheel appetizer with the flavors of Chili Rellenos. This really ended up hitting the spot! They can be made vegetarian by adding more beans and omitting the chorizo, if desired. The title to this SHOULD translate, roughly, to unstuffed chilies, or chilies UNrellenos! Read more ;) See less
Ingredients
- 1 can(or about 2 cups homemade) refried beans shopping list
- 1/2lb raw Mexican chorizo(I used my homemade, which I reground into a very fine grind) shopping list
- 2 blocks cream cheese, softened shopping list
- 2 small cans, or 1 large can green chilies or jalapenos, drained(depending on heat preference, I used 1 small can, each, because this was for a larger gathering, but if I make them for home, it will be all jalapenos) or 4-5 medium fresh peppers, diced and sauteed until very soft shopping list
- juice from about 1/2 lime(optional) shopping list
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Asadero, shredded shopping list
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped shopping list
- large flour tortillas shopping list
How to make it
- In medium skillet, brown chorizo until cooked through, making sure to break pieces up very small.
- Drain well.
- Return to pan and add beans and heat through, stirring occasionally.
- Turn off heat when heated and well combined. Let rest.
- Whip cream cheese well and add lime juice and peppers. Mix well.
- Add shredded cheese to slightly cooled meat mixture. It's okay if the cheese melts completely, totally, or not at all :) See Photo
- Spread meat/bean mixture on tortilla. See Photo
- Add cream cheese mixture and spread to nearly cover meat mix. See Photo
- Top with a handful of cilantro. See Photo
- Roll tortillas up from one side to the other, tight, but not tight enough for the filling to squish out See Photo. :)
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- Chill for about 30 minutes, then slice!
