Just like Mama Ortega, Emilio took great pride in the food he prepared and focused on providing the highest quality peppers to create the very best salsas and chiles.

Tips for filling Chiles Rellenos Fillings can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, then brought to room temperature before stuffing chiles. Make sure they are at room temperature or slightly chilled. If fillings are hot, the juices will flow out and cause the coating to slide off. Use enough filling to stuff each chile relleno as completely as possible; but not too much that the seam won't it hold together.
