I halved the recipe, added ground beef fried with onion and garlic. I also used all purpose GF flour mixed with cornmeal. My husband said "this may be the best chiles rellenos I have ever eaten!" He is somewhat of an expert as that is what he orders every time he can. Thank you for the recipe. I took some liberties with changes, because that's what I had on hand.
