Issue No. 1113: July 2021

I can’t wait for y’all to try this week’s Goodtaste original recipe! Who doesn’t love a crispy, fried chile relleno, but sometimes the breading is too heavy on a hot summer day. With that in mind, our test kitchen created a “naked,” summer-ready version studded with fresh corn and topped with a vibrant cherry tomato-avocado salsa. We’re also sharing some of my favorite margaritas in Texas for National Tequila Day (July 24th!), colorful summer salads and more. Find it all below!

Cheers,

Make This Now: “Naked” Chile Rellenos

We dubbed these “naked” chile rellenos because there’s no breading and no frying! Instead, the poblano peppers are stuffed and baked in a smoky tomato sauce, creating a lightened-up spin on a Mexican favorite. The cheesy chorizo filling is studded with fresh summer corn and a chunky cherry tomato-avocado salsa is piled on top, showing off some of the season’s best ingredients. Learn how to make them yourself HERE.
