I just made these and think I goofed. Are the green chilies fresh or canned. I had got the fresh ones, but after starting the recipe I didn't think this was right. And do you stuff the chilis before you fry them or after? Toni

Fry them before you stuff them. When you microwave them it will heat the rest of the ingredients.
