I really liked this recipe as it was easy and the flavor was terrific! I made a couple of modifications out of necessity. I had pepper jack on hand and that worked fine. Also, I couldn't find large canned chilies at my local grocery so I opted for fresh Anaheim peppers which I roasted, peeled, and cleaned of membranes and seeds. I have made this dish in the past by deep frying but now prefer this approach. I'll probably continue to use fresh peppers and experiment with the cheeses however. Thanks Angel, this is a winner!
