Rajas con Queso
Rajas con Queso brings tender poblano strips, sweet onion, and juicy corn together in a velvety blend of Monterey Jack, cotija, and crema. It’s mildly smoky, rich, and just peppery enough, perfect as a warm side, taco filling, or topping for grilled meats. Serve it hot when you want something comforting with classic Mexican flavors.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the peppers, onion, and corn until tender and beginning to char, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in Monterey Jack cheese, cotija cheese, and crema and cook until they melt into a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper and serve right away.
