History
Rajas con crema are strips of roasted and peeled poblano chile stewed with onion, crema and sometimes corn and cheese. It is a dish of central Mexican cooking built around the poblano chile, native to Puebla. It is served as a main course, as a filling for quesadillas, tacos and tamales, or as a side.
Cultural Notes
Son relleno estrella de quesadillas, tacos y tamales, y plato de vigilia durante la cuaresma por no llevar carne. El chile poblano se asa, se suda y se pela antes de cortarlo en rajas, un paso que define su sabor.
