Taco Topped with Poblano Creme Fraiche

Picture by Jennifer Meier
Adding roasted poblano pepper to creamy, rich creme fraiche gives it a little kick. Use this to top tacos or as a dip for chips or vegetables.

Ingredients:

  • 1 fresh poblano chile
  • 1 eight ounce container creme fraiche
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese

Preparation:

To roast the poblano, set it under a broiler and cook until each side of the poblano is burned black. Place the roasted pepper in a sealed plastic bag to steam it a few minutes. This makes the skin easier to remove. Under running water, scrape off the skin with your hands. Cut the top of the pepper and clean out the seeds. Slice the pepper into thin strips.

In a food processor, pulse the cooled poblano pepper with the creme fraiche and cheese.
