- Upside: The veggies are quite tasty, especially the tomatoes
and the grilled corn. The sauce has good flavor, but not very “cheddary”. Plenty of food for only 300 calories! - Downside: Poblano flavor is not very strong and it could be spicier. The chicken is a little boring and nondescript.

Cedar Lane Natural Foods, Roasted Chile Relleno- Made with green chilies, jack and cheddar cheeses.
- Calories: 360

- Upside: Whole chilies have really good flavor! Very cheesy just like the package
