Rajas con crema

The word "rajas" just means "strips" but in Mexican cooking it refers to strips of chiles.  The chiles are roasted, peeled, and cut into strips.  After that the recipe can vary but normally they are sautéed with onions,  herbs and seasonings. The cooked mixture is used as a condiment with meats or as a vegetable side dish.

Add chicken base and stir.
