It's the roasted poblanos and cream that do all the work, everything else is just a bonus. Spread rajas on a fried or baked corn tortilla for an instant (and delicious) tostada. Serve rajas as a side dish to grilled steak, chicken, or pork chops. Chop up some leftover rajas to mix into scrambled eggs or macaroni and cheese. Add Mexican flavor to a hamburger, hot dog, or grilled cheese sandwich with a spoonful of richly flavorful rajas.
