My love for chile rellenos knows no bounds and the dining gods have answered my wish for more diversity in relleno land with a quad squad of chile rellenos from visionary Chef Ivan Calderon of Taco Mesa and Taco Rosa fame.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we enter into the holiday season, a time of togetherness and celebration, I wanted to introduce a menu of inventive special occasion dishes at Taco Rosa,\u201d commented Chef Ivan Calderon, who recently began making GMO-free tortillas and masa for all his restaurants. \u201cReminiscent of my childhood in Mexico City, these dishes are my way of sharing celebratory tradition with our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chile Relleno Casero – classic with a twist.<\/em><\/p>\n

Chef Calderon\u2019s new lineup of celebratory chile rellenos include:<\/p>\n

Chile Nogada Rosa <\/b>–\u00a0 roasted poblano pepper stuffed with ground beef, sugar apple, persimmons, raisins, plantain, olives, tomatoes and onion, topped with cactus pear sauce and pomegranate arils<\/p>\n

Chile Relleno Pie <\/b>– roasted poblano pepper stuffed with baked chicken in a creamy wine reduction with sweet potatoes, shiitake mushrooms, and cactus, wrapped and baked in puff pastry, served on a bed of tomatillo-spinach sauce<\/p>\n

Chile Relleno Casero<\/b> – roasted poblano pepper filled with Oaxaca and pepper jack cheeses fried in our casera batter topped with tomato caldillo sauce, served with a sweet corn tamalito with papaya butter sauce<\/p>\n

Chile Relleno Tacos <\/b>– chilaca peppers stuffed with panela cheese, dressed with calabacitas in two spinach-poblano tortillas<\/p>\n

With a focus on authenticity, Calderon\u2019s dishes pay respect to the Mayan, Aztec, and Spanish cuisines and cooking methods that shaped the fundamentals of Mexican cuisine. Calderon plays up time-honored dishes and authentic ingredients with a flare of his own innovation. Other seasonal additions to the menu include a hyper-local Black Sheep Farms Salad and Pumpkin Flan.<\/p>\n

Also in November, Chef Calderon will also host a series of hands-on tamale cooking demos. The interactive cooking classes will allow guests to make their own tamales with GMO-free corn masa produced from Calderon\u2019s newest restaurant Taco Mesa Tortilleria Org\u00e1nica & Caf\u00e9. Guests will enjoy complimentary appetizers and cocktails during the demonstration and each will leave with a dozen hand-made tamales<\/span>. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 949- 720-0980.<\/p>\n
