Instructions

Poblano crepes: For roasting poblano, place a poblano over stove top at high flame.

Let it sit for like 30 seconds and keep flipping using tongs until it gets charred on all sides. Once charred, place it in a bowl and cover tightly so it steams up inside. Uncover after few mins and peel off the skin using hands.

Cut in big pieces and throw in the blender. Blend until a smooth paste forms. in a big bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add milk and water and stir to combine.

Add salt and olive oil and stir until smooth. Fold in the poblano pure. Warm a flat skillet and spray with little oil. Once hot, add 1/4 cup of batter and swirl the pan around or using a flat spatula so it gets thin and in kind of a circular shape.

Let it cook for few mins. Flip and cook on the other side. Repeat and stack them on an aluminum foil.

Filling

Add oil in a deep skillet. Once hot, add the veggies along with seasoning. Stir to mix it all together and cook on med-high flame for good 15-20 mins until it starts to smell wonderful and veggies get softened up. Keep aside.

"No-cheese" cashew-poblano sauce: Roast and peel the poblano the same way as mentioned above in poblano crepe recipe. In a blender, add all the ingredients and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Assembling: In a baking dish, add some sauce at the bottom to evenly coat. Take one poblano crepe and add filling good 1-2 Tbsp or more in the centre lengthways.

Roll it tightly and place seam side down on the baking dish. Repeat with the rest.

Add more sauce on top.

Add fresh red onions, green and red bell peppers and green onions on top.At this top, you can refrigerate it covered for later use.
