Directions:
Chile Rellenos:
Gently wash seeds out of chiles. Slice cheese into wedges and stuff chiles. Beat 6-7 egg whites to peak. Add 3 egg yokes (this is enough batter for 8 chiles). Roll chile in flour and shake off excess. Dip floured chile in batter. Try to create a boat with the batter on one side of the chile and lay the chile on the battered side into the oil. You can then cover the other side with batter while it is in the oil. Deep fry on both sides till golden brown. Allow to dry on rack (may blot out excess oil with paper towels. Repeat for next 8 chiles. Place in large pan for serving with secret sauce.

Secret Sauce:
Saute onions in oil. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer till boiling.

Serving:
Pour into the pan with the chiles, covering and basting chiles with the sauce. Cover with foil and place into oven at 300º for 30-45 minutes. Less time if chiles are hot or more time if chiles are cold. Must be hot enough so that cheese is melted when cutting into the chile. Serve with flour tortillas.
