Directions:
Drain and slit each chili lengthwise, just enough to remove seeds if desired. Cut cheese into strips 1/2 inch thick and long enough to fit into chilies. Stuff each chili with a piece of cheese. Dredge stuffed chilies in seasoned flour. Set aside.

Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Beat egg yolks until creamy. Fold yolks into whites adding 3 tablespoons flour as you fold. Dip each stuffed chili into this batter and set on a small dish.

Slide coated chili from dish into deep hot oil to fry (about 400º F). Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes, turning once gently. Drain rellenos on paper towels. Serve with heated Ortega Green Chili Salsa. Leftover chilies Rellenos are equally as good when cold.
