This recipe is EVERYTHING. I love this so much that it’s all I’ve been eating for dinner for a week. I cooked mine in my air fryer and it’s so fast and easy. And that poblano cheese sauce…..I could drink it plain. This is an excellent recipe.
Made this tonight absolutely delicious, did not have potatoes for the cheese sauce so instead used one cup of cashews to make a poblano Crema, could eat that by the spoonful. I agree excellent recipe.
