The Chiles Rellenos I grew up eating — memory as a review

I grew up eating Chiles Rellenos and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the complex and layered with chilli was right, epazote was handled the way it should be.

pre-Columbian ingredients like corn, beans, and chilli form the foundation. Growing up it was always an Oaxacan restaurant, which shaped my reference point entirely. agua fresca alongside it is the only way it makes sense to me. It's hard to be objective about food you have emotional history with, but objectively: this is very good.
