Poblano Recipes

Poblano cuisine hails from Puebla, a city considered one of the cradles of Mexican gastronomy. It is the birthplace of mole poblano, a rich sauce blending chocolate, chili peppers, and dozens of spices. The region also gave the world chiles en nogada, a patriotic dish featuring stuffed poblano peppers with walnut cream sauce and pomegranate. Cemitas, a distinctive local sandwich, and chalupas are everyday staples.
