Ingredients

  • 3 roasted poblanos, seeds removed, peeled
  • 2 roasted jalapenos, seeds removed
  • ½ medium onion, grilled
  • 15 ounce green enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Poblano Sauce

  • Wash and dry the peppers.
  • Rub the peppers and onions with olive oil and place on the hot grill.
  • Let poblano peppers cook until blistered and charred on each side, and grill the jalapeños and onions for a few minutes until the jalapeños and onions have softened a bit.
  • Remove from the grill and place the poblanos in a gallon size baggie, or a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the baggie/bowl and peel the skin off each pepper.
  • Cut stems off of the poblano and jalapeno peppers, remove seeds, and place into a vitamix or a blender.
  • Add grilled onions, enchilada sauce, heavy cream, chicken broth, chicken bouillon, and red pepper flakes into the vitamix and blend until creamy.

Stove Top Method

  • To roast peppers on the stove, wash and dry peppers.
  • Using tongs, hold each pepper over a medium flame until blistered and charred. Then follow the above instructions.

Notes

  • Wash your hands thoroughly after handling peppers and never touch your face.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also roast the peppers over a medium flame on your stovetop until charred. Then, follow the instructions for the rest of the recipe.
  • Rub your grill grates with oil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
