Steps:
- Heat 1/3 cup corn oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Finely chop the onion and garlic in a food processor.
- Saute the onion and garlic mixture in corn oil until translucent and golden, and almost caramelized. This will take at least 10 minutes.
- Mix the 1/3 cup flour into the onions and garlic, and stir cooking until flour is lightly browned.
- Place the Roma tomatoes in a food processor and puree. You should have about 1 1/2 cups pureed tomatoes.
- Add the jalapeno pepper and onion/garlic/flour mixture from saucepan into the food processor with the tomatoes. Make sure to submerge the onion and garlic roux into the puree.
- Process everything until all the ingredients are finely pureed.
- Pour that sauce back into the same saucepan, and add 5 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of salt.
- Crush a teaspoon and a half of Mexican oregano between your fingers and add it along with the fresh ground pepper, bay leaf, a pinch of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground cloves.
- Bring mixture to a boil while whisking.
- Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until you have a nice thick sauce. Cover the saucepan slightly vented so steam can escape, and whisk the sauce occasionally.
- You can keep the sauce warm over lowest heat, whisking as needed to refresh consistency until served, or reheat and stir before serving.
- Keep the pepper stems intact and place on a grill or under broiler cooking on each side until evenly blistered and slightly blackened.
- Immediately place the peppers into a large plastic bag and allow to steam for about three minutes.
- Carefully slide the skin off of each pepper and discard.
- Cut a slit lengthwise down the side of each pepper (you need it just big enough to slip a stick of cheese in.
- Carefully cup each pepper with one hand and gently run water into the slit to flush out the seeds.
- Combine 4 cups water, 4 teaspoons salt, and 1/3 cup white vinegar, and soak the chiles in this brine for a few minutes.
- Cut your cheese into 6 long thin sticks.
- Remove chiles from brine and blot dry with paper towels.
- Stuff each chile with one cheese stick by slipping into the pepper slit. Don't panic if you tear a chile, flour and the egg batter will seal it up.
- Pour 2 cups oil into an electric wok or an electric skillet and set heat control to 365°F. If you're confident in the kitchen, feel free to use a heavy duty pot on the stove with a thermoteter to monitor your temperature.
- Measure 1/2 cup flour into a sifter or fine mesh collander and dust each of the chiles well with flour on all sides. For torn chiles, apply some extra flour at the seam then slightly overlap the tear.
- Beat egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Beat egg yolks in another bowl with one tablespoon flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- Pour the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites and fold together lightly but thoroughly (with a rubber spatula) while keeping the whites fluffy.
- Use a rubber spatula "frost" a stuffed and floured chile.
- Hold chile by the stem and place carefully into the hot oil. Repeat with additional chiles, frying only 2 or 3 at a time.
- Fry the chiles until golden on all sides, turning once with a skimmer or coated tongs until done. It takes about 5 minutes to fry completely.
- Drain the peppers between paper towels. If not serving immediately, you can reheat them individually in a microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- Make a pool of warm sauce on the plate and add a chile. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh chopped cilantro.

CHILES RELLENOS (AUTHENTIC)
A luscious mexican specialty! These are quite easy to prepare and better than what you find in a mexican restaurant. Chiles filled with savory cheese, crusted in a golden egg coating and topped with a light tomato sauce or enchilada sauce of your choice. I use canned red enchilada sauce to save time and it adds a little kick too. My family loves these! You can use 1 lg. 7 oz. can of whole green chiles but they are very soft and make it difficult to stuff.

- Dust chiles with flour and dip quickly into batter then lay in 350 degree oil.

- The oil can then be used to cook the chiles.
CHILES RELLENOS WITH CHEESE SAUCE
These chilies are filled with wonderful melted cheese and coated in a rich beaten egg mixture. Growing up in a state with no Latino population, I didn't taste these little beauties until I was 12 years old. It was love at first bite. I still love them and they're one of my favorite foods.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers onto the prepared baking sheet, and cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Turn the peppers often to blacken all sides. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
- Rinse cooled peppers under cold water to peel off the skins, and cut a slit along the long side of each pepper to remove the seeds and core. Rinse the peppers inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the peppers with strips of the cheese.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with the baking powder. In a second metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Place flour into a shallow bowl.
- Heat the vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, tap off excess flour, and dip the peppers into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot shortening. Fry peppers until lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.
