2. Looks delicious, trof! Thanks! Printing and saving....

yummmy!!

:hi:

Do I have to use "Poblano chilis"? Haven't heard of them. Pls excuse my ignorance in the chili dept. :eyes:

I'm used to the Ortega mild canned ones...

4. You can use canned chiles.

But I see you're in CA.
You can probably find fresh poblanos in your grocery store.
Ask the produce guy.
