Chiles in Walnut Sauce

Chiles en Nogada

There is no doubt that chiles en nogada are one of the crowning glories of Mexican cuisine. It was created by nuns in the 1800’s in the city of Puebla to honor the Emperor Agustin de Iturbide.

Every year there is a festival and competition for the best chile en nogada in that fair city that is also known for its delicious mole poblano and beautiful Talavera tiles and dinnerware.
