Slit along one side (do not cut in half)and remove the seeds. Rinse under cool water to remove excess skin or seeds.

Toss the cheeses together and press into 6 oblong shapes large enough to fit into the chiles. Wrap each chile and the cheese, being careful that the seams are closed. Dredge each stuffed Chile in flour, dusting off any excess.

PANTRY NOTES: ANEJO, also known as Cotija, is a salty, crumbly white cheese, similar to feta in appearance. Romano or washed and dried feta are good substitutes; or a combination. PANELA -- a mild, milky-tasting, fresh white cheese often sold in rounds also called QUESO FRESCO. Substitute a Ricotta, farmers, or dry cottage cheese. 1-½ cups Recipe by: Mary Sue Milliken & Susan Feniger* Posted to MasterCook Digest by kitpath@... on Nov 01, 1998, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
