Instructions
- 1
Char the whole poblanos directly over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning often, until the skins are blackened and blistered all over, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 2
Transfer the charred peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes so the skins loosen for easy peeling.
- 3
Rub off the blackened skins, remove the stems and seeds, and slice the flesh into thin strips, the namesake rajas.
- 4
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion for 6 minutes until soft and translucent, then add the corn and cook 3 minutes more.
- 5
Stir in the poblano strips and crema, lower the heat, and simmer gently for 5 minutes until the cream thickens slightly and coats the peppers.
- 6
Fold in the cheese, season with salt, and remove from the heat once the cheese melts into a glossy, creamy sauce; serve warm with tortillas.
