01 Step
Recipe View
Prepare the Cream Sauce: In a blender, combine the Mexican crema, softened cream cheese, and chicken (or vegetable) bouillon granules. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Roast the Poblano Peppers: Place the poblano peppers directly on the grate of a gas stove burner or on a large, dry griddle over medium-high heat. Roast, turning occasionally, until the skins are blackened and blistered all over. (15 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Steam and Peel: Transfer the roasted peppers to a plastic bag or a covered bowl. Allow them to 'sweat' for about 5 minutes. This makes peeling easier. Once cooled slightly, peel off the blackened skin. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and veins, and slice into thick strips. (15 minutes)
04 Step

Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the thickly sliced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the drained corn kernels, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the corn to lightly brown and sweeten.
05 Step
Recipe View
Combine and Simmer: Add the sliced poblano pepper strips to the saucepan with the onions and corn. Pour the prepared cream sauce over the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until heated through and the flavors have melded together, about 5 minutes more.
For a smoky depth, roast the poblano peppers over an open flame until charred.
If you don't have Mexican crema, crème fraîche makes an excellent substitute.
Adjust the amount of bouillon to your taste; start with less and add more as needed.
Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas, rice, or as a filling for tacos or quesadillas.
