Like our tamale piece, we republish this every year for those who want to try to make something special. I discovered from another New Mexican family in the Bay Area that they too made these small rellenos at Christmas. Both of our grandfathers came from San Antonio, New Mexico so maybe the recipe originated there. In this video, Mission Local's founder, Lydia Chávez, explains how to make cocktail-sized chiles rellenos. The recipe has been in our family for years, invented by my mother and her cousin Evelyn to entertain New Mexican style over the holidays.
