Steps:
- Slice one poblano pepper into thin strips.
- Roast the other pepper: If you have a gas stove, turn the burner on and keep the pepper over the flame until it chars - you want it black on all sides. If you don't have a gas stove, turn your broiler on and roast the pepper on the top rack until it is blackened on all sides. Once the pepper is roasted, transfer to a large plastic baggie or a bowl covered with plastic wrap and let steam while you sear the chicken. Once they've sat for about 10 minutes, pull them out and peel the skin off. Take out the membranes and seeds as well.
- While the peppers steam: Heat a large skillet over a medium heat. Add two tablespoons butter or olive oil. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepepr. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken. Sear until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and do the same on the other side. Sear until cooked through, another 3-4 minutes. Take the chicken out and set aside. Don't worry if the chicken is not cooked through, it will simmer in the sauce later to finish cooking.
- Once the chicken is seared, remove from the pan, and add remaining tablespoon of olive oil or butter to the pan. Add the onions and sliced peppers (the sliced peppers you did not roast and steam). Saute for about 5 minutes until softened. Season with a little salt . Add the garlic and cook another minute.
- While the veggies cook, transfer the ROASTED poblano pepper to a blender along with cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Blend until smooth. Pour the pureed pepper mixture back into the skillet with the sliced peppers, onions, and garlic. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock, cream, lime juice, honey, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add the chcken breasts back to the skillet with the sauce, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. It should read 165 degrees on an instant read thermomter. If needed, add a little bit more chicken stock to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over rice pilaf, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

A fabulously easy and delicious take on a favorite - this lasagna is full of Mexican flavors and uses layers of corn tortillas in place of noodles. Easy to adapt and personalize - try adding sauteed veggies, Spanish rice, diced jalapeno, or even switching out the red salsa for green!

Steps:
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Before we get to the recipe, you can layer your ingredients in any order you like. You can change ingredients and add extra ingredients. Make it your own. Start by combining the chicken, cream cheese, and about 1.5-2 cups of poblano cream sauce. Stir until well mixed. You want the chicken to be well coated without it being too saucy. To start assembling the Mexican Lasagna, you want to place a single layer of tortillas in the bottom of a casserole dish. I used a ceramic dish and did not need to grease it. You want to create the best layer of tortillas that you can and you will likely need to slice tortillas in half or cut the edges off. Next, spread all of the refried beans on top of the tortillas in an even layer. Sprinkle with about 1/2 cup cheese. Then add another layer of tortillas. Pour the salsa over the tortillas and sprinkle half of the raw corn over. Top with another layer of tortillas. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas to make the next layer. Drizzle some extra poblano cream sauce over the top. Add another layer of tortillas. Drain and rinse the black beans and spread half of them over the tortillas. Sprinkle with about 1/2 cup of cheese and drizzle about 1/2 cup of poblano cream sauce over the top. Add another layer of tortillas. Add the remaining chicken mixture and top with a last layer of tortillas. For the last layer, spread about 1/2 cup of the poblano cream sauce over the top of the tortillas, then sprinkle the remaining corn, black beans, and cheese over the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until hot and the cheese has browned. If you are assembling in advance and refrigerating you may need to increase the bake time. If you like, you can garnish with sliced grape tomatoes and green onion.

Steps:
- Prepare chiles:
- Lay 4 chiles on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flames on high. Roast chiles, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened and chiles are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. (Or broil all 12 chiles on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat, turning, until skins are blackened, 8 to 10 minutes.) Transfer immediately to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Roast remaining 8 chiles in same manner, then let stand 20 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, peel chiles, then open flat and discard seeds and stems, wiping with paper towels or dunking in a bowl of water briefly, if necessary, to remove seeds. If chiles taste very spicy, cut out ribs with scissors to make them milder.
- Make tomato sauce:
- Purée tomatoes with juice, garlic, cilantro, sugar, and salt in a blender. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then add sauce (be careful of splattering) and simmer, stirring, until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, about 6 minutes.
- Make goat cheese sauce:
- Gently simmer cream, with epazote if using, in a small heavy saucepan, covered, 10 minutes. If using epazote, pour cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on and discarding epazote. Return cream to pan. Whisk in goat cheese and salt and heat over low heat, whisking until smooth.
- Make spinach filling:
- Blanch spinach in batches in a large pot of boiling salted water 1 minute, transferring with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of cold water to cool. Drain in a colander, pressing on spinach with back of a spoon to remove excess water, then coarsely chop.
- Heat oil in cleaned nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté spinach and raisins, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in salt and transfer filling to a plate.
- Fry tortillas and assemble dish:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat oil in cleaned nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry tortillas 2 halves at a time, turning over once, until just crisp, about 1 minute total. Transfer tortillas to paper towels to drain.
- Spread 1/4 cup tomato sauce over bottom of casserole dish. Arrange half of tortillas on top, then spread another 1/4 cup tomato sauce on top and sprinkle evenly with black beans. Arrange 4 poblanos flat over black beans to cover, then spread half of spinach filling evenly over chiles and drizzle with 1/4 cup goat cheese sauce. Make another layer with 4 chiles, remaining spinach filling, and another 1/4 cup of goat cheese sauce, then cover with remaining 4 chiles.
- Cover chiles with remaining tomato sauce, spreading evenly, then top with remaining tortillas. Cover tortillas with remaining goat cheese sauce, spreading evenly.
- Bake lasagne, covered with foil, in middle of oven until bubbling and heated through, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat broiler. Remove foil and broil about 3 inches from heat until top is bubbling and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.

CORN AND POBLANO LASAGNA
I saw this on The Best Thing I Ever Made show on TV and it looked so good I had to get the recipe! Recipe courtesy Marcela Valladolid who hosts the Mexican Made Easy show. This recipe has some great reviews! If you like it really saucy double the cream sauce(recommended). If poblano peppers are too spicy for you replace them with red or green bell peppers or use Anaheim peppers. Note: super dark green and almost flat poblanos are supposed to have less heat. Not sure if this is true but going to give it a try next time. To cut the fat, I may try using soy milk and adding to a little roux(flour and butter) to thicken it up. One reviewer replaced the cream with vegetable stock. Feel free to add more corn and zucchini or other vegetables to give even more taste and nutrition.
