Chile, Cheese And Chorizo Melt

1. 1

   Roast & Prepare Poblanos

2. 2

   Over an open flame, roast the chiles until they are charred on all sides ( a few minutes). Remove the chiles from heat and place in a plastic bag for 5 minutes. This will create steam and allow the skins to separate from the flesh. Peel away the skins. Cut off the stem end and remove the seeds and veins from the interior. Slice lengthwise into narrow strips.
