Ingredients

  • 64 package d crêpes (9-inch)
  • oz chilies whole green canned
  • cups cheddar cheese shredded

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • oven

Directions

  1. Drain 2 cans (4 oz. each) whole green chilies and lay an equal portion on a quarter section of each of 8 packaged crpes (9 in.). Mound 3 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese (you'll need 2 cups, 1/2 lb. total) onto chilies on each crpe.
  2. Fold crpes in half over filling, then in half again to make a triangle. Set triangles, 3-layer side down, slightly apart in 2 nonstick or lightly oiled 10- by 15-inch pans.
  3. Top crpes with remaining cheese and bake in a 400 oven until filling is hot in the center and crpe edges are crisp, about 6 minutes; switch pan positions after 3 minutes.
  4. Transfer crpes to plates.
