This was very good; however, next time I plan on making the following changes: Instead of the cheddar I'm going to use jack or pepper jack cheese because that is what I use in regular rellenos and the cheddar made this taste a little off to us. If I use regular jack cheese I probably will add an additional spice or two like cumin, taco or mexican seasoning.
