Fluffy, yet dense; flavorful, yet mild; complex, yet uncomplicated -- this Chiles Rellenos Casserole, which first appeared in our January/February 1995 issue, is a study in contradictions. Somehow, though, it works on every level -- which is why it's on our list of all-time favorites. Serve with chunky salsa and smooth sour cream to round out the fiesta of flavors in this easy, positively foolproof south-of-the-border comfort classic.
