Traditionally, poblano peppers are the chile of choice for chile rellenos. Over the years, however, we’ve experimented with several varieties and discovered that Big Jim and Charger Hot peppers make exceptional alternatives.

Both varieties offer the large size, thick flesh, and sturdy walls needed for stuffing and frying. Big Jim chiles have a mild, slightly sweet flavor similar to poblanos, while providing a larger cavity for generous fillings. Charger Hot peppers bring a bit more heat and a rich roasted flavor that pairs beautifully with both cheese and meat fillings.

When roasted, both peppers develop a wonderful smoky depth while maintaining their structure during cooking, making them ideal for hearty, flavorful chile rellenos.
