Please caution people to wear gloves when working with raw peppers. Some of them have blistering oils in them that can cause much pain. If you do get a burn, use household vegetable oil to soothe the pain (having learned from a painful experience of peeling poblano peppers).

Chile Rellenos are made with poblano peppers which are mild.

If you have a baby or small children...ALWAYS wear gloves when peeling peppers! Don't touch their delicate skin (changing diapers, bathing, etc.) if you have peeled peppers with bare hands.

This is not a recipe for hot peppers. Chile Rellenos are made with poblano peppers which are mild. The recipe doesn't specify but for anyone who knows & loves this dish, they know it is only made with those peppers.

To my surprise this recipe turned out very well, very similar to the ones I helped a friend make in Mexico. I did however use the cheese I had available instead of jack which was a Mexican blend along with some mozzarella. It still turned out delicious and cured my pregnancy craving for chile relleno!
