Attention FS Mexican foodies and air fryer experts, you know who you are! I want to get your ideas.

I got it into my head that I want to try making chile rellenos. I bought 3 poblano peppers and white Mexican cheese mix, plus I have some cotija. My questions are:

1) Can I just char the peppers on the gas stove whole and then scrape off the skin? Should I take out the stems and seeds before charring or after?

2) Do I just stuff with cheese, or could I add other stuff, like rice, beans, lentils, mushrooms? If so, would I cook in some kind of sauce, like with regular American stuffed bell peppers? Trying to make them lighter and more nutritious. Also, I have some powdered chia I keep trying to use, so I might sneak some in there too.

3) I plan to dredge in AP flour, egg, panko (and serve with yummy homemade enchilada sauce). Can I air fry or bake?

Thanks to anyone who wants to offer suggestions and educate me!

I wish I could help stove top scraping skin then cleaning is the way I always did it but then I would add the cheese and batter and Fry not too helpful but you can do amazing things with those air fryers

Stove char is fine, then peel and clean but keep stem on to use as handle. We make them (Joe's nana's recipe) by separating the egg, beating whites until fluffy, dipping in both whites and yoke along with your chosen breading. Hope that nakes sense. Oh and stuff with whatever you like. 😋

Thank you, Becca! LOL, the fact that it is Joe's nana's recipe is a little intimidating. Keeping the stems and using as handles is genius. So separate the egg and beat both and dip one after the other? Or do I fold the yolk back into the white? Any thoughts on air frying?

Keep separate, dip separate. Egg yoke, flour/breading then whites last. I don't see why not use air fryer. Have fun. 😊
