Ingredients

1- 15 oz. can tomato sauce

2 tbsp. minced onion

3 large eggs, separated

3 tablespoon flour

1 tablespoon water

1/4 tsp salt

2 cans of 5.75 oz. WHOLE mild green chiles (not easy to find whole)

3 oz. Monterey Jack cheese cut into pieces to fit inside chiles

1/4 c. flour

Canola or other smokeless cooking oil

Directions

Place tomato sauce in small sauce pan, stir in minced onion and let simmer.

Gently wash the chiles, remove seeds, and carefully slice lengthwise if not already "open"

Slip a piece of cheese into each chile, then roll in flour, shaking off excess.

Heat cooking oil (about 3/4" deep in nonstick skillet) on medium to barely medium high heat

Beat egg whites into soft peaks

Beat together yolks, 3 tbsp flour, water and salt.

Gently but thoroughly fold yolk mix into whites, to create a puffy, yellowy batter

Hold a chile cupped in you fingers and dip into batter

place on a small plate and slide gently into oil, mounding a little batter on any bare spots

Cook no more than 3 at a time.

When edges get lacey, check with fork to see if golden underneath, and turn with a spatula and a fork in a rolling motion

Remove to papertowel on plate when browned. Serve with tomato sauce on side to pour on as desired.

Thanks all! After many years of making this recipe I found an ancient "Sunset" Mexican Cookbook and realised it was the source (No date on it but the photos and kitchen decor are pure 70's late 60's!) It refers to this as The Puffy Coating, giving other options for Thin and Crispy and Omelet Like. I tried all three but this is the best. Okay gotta tell this: at a Cinco De Mayo Party this was my contribution and several people thought (!) it was fish! Ay de mio! by the shape, I guess! But they asked for seconds, so who cares!
