  • In a saucepan with hot water dissolve the piloncillo and cook the peppers for 6 minutes until they hydrate and their skin softens. Drain.
  • On a cutting board place the peppers, open them on one side and with the help of a knife, remove the veins and seeds. Drain them again on paper towels to remove excess water. Set aside.
  • For the filling, in a bowl mix the onion with the manchego cheese, oaxaca cheese, and parsley. Season with pepper and mix evenly.
  • Stuff the peppers with the previous mixture, if necessary, use toothpicks to close them properly.
  • For the batter, place the egg whites in a bowl and beat until stiff peaks form, add salt and the Rexal® Baking Powder, mix until you have a consistent mixture. Pour in the egg yolks one at a time and continue beating; add the flour gradually and finish mixing.
  • In a bowl, coat the peppers with flour, remove the excess and set aside. Dip the peppers in the batter mixture until completely covered. Fry in hot oil on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
  • Slice the peppers and serve over a tortilla with pico de gallo to taste.
