My Mother-in-Law’s Recipe

This is a favorite family recipe and tradition.  We gather in the kitchen and form an “assembly line” that even the smallest person can participate in.  It’s a fun time to visit and catch up and ends with a mountain of delicious chile relleños.

I hope your family has its own fun tradition.  Please share them with us!
