Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
-
Optionally, roast chiles over a gas burner or under a broiler until blistered, then steam them covered for 15 minutes to easily remove skins.
-
Slit each chile halfway down from the stem and remove seeds.
-
Heat oil in a frying pan, then cook onion and garlic until fragrant.
-
Prepare filling: for meat, brown ground meat with onion and garlic, drain fat, and season with salt and lime; for cheese, mix cooled onion and garlic with cheese.
-
Stuff chiles with the chosen filling, place in a lightly oiled baking pan, and bake for 20 minutes (roasted) or 30-40 minutes (unroasted) until soft and hot.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the creamy spicy tomato sauce.
-
Remove chiles, top with sauce, and serve with extra sauce.
