Blend the tomatoes, onion, garlic clove, chicken broth, salt, and pepper until all ingredients are well blended. Heat a little Gran Tradición® Oil in a pot, pour in the sauce, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the battered peppers and cook for 2 more minutes. Remember that Gran Tradición® Oil will help preserve the original flavor of the sauce, keeping your seasoning intact. Serve the stuffed battered peppers with tomato sauce and accompany with red rice. Stuff the poblano peppers with beans and cheese, close with a toothpick, and dust with flour, making sure to cover them completely. Set aside. Use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they double in size and are firm. Gradually add the yolks until fully integrated. Dip the floured peppers in the batter. Heat enough Gran Tradición® Oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the battered peppers and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain and set aside.
