Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Mexican Rajas con Crema
- Roast the fresh poblano chiles over an open flame or under a broiler set to high for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until skins are blistered and charred. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for about 5 minutes. Peel the roasted poblanos, remove seeds, and slice into strips.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped white onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Mix in minced garlic and the roasted poblano strips along with fresh or frozen corn kernels. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and ground cumin, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in 4 ounces of cream cheese and ½ cup of Mexican crema to the skillet, mixing well.Heat over medium-low until bubbles form around the edges, about 3-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in 1 cup of shredded Oaxaca cheese, stirring to combine. Cover the skillet and let sit on low heat for about 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese before serving.

Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days, reheating gently to maintain creaminess.
