Hearty green poblanos are sliced and sautéed with onions and seasoning to make the ultimate game day appetizer. Served warm over crisp tortilla chips and a glass of Kendall-Jackson AVANT Sauvignon Blanc, this rajas de poblano recipe is sure to be a hit with football fans.

From scrambled eggs, over burgers, on nachos and used to top tacos these rajas can be made in advanced and store in the fridge, in a tightly covered container for up two days until ready to use.

The word “rajas” means “strips” in Spanish.

Remove the seeds for a milder version or add a cup of cheese to make a cheesy version.  If you cannot find poblanos, Anaheim chiles can also be used. Look for firm poblano to the touch and store them on the countertop, never in the fridge.
