AFAIK rellenos are stuffed peppers made (sometimes) using Nu-Mex or
Big Jim chilies. Poblanos are also used.

Here's a version I make with Hungarian Wax peppers that is nice for an
appetiser ...

      12    Yellow chilies (guero or wax)
       1 tb Vinegar
     1/2 lb Crab meat or small shrimp, or
            -combination (cooked)
       2    Scallions; minced

   Slit the chilies and remove seeds and veins. Blanch quickly in water
   with 1 tablespoon of vinegar (about 1 min.). Drain and cool.

   In food processor, finely chop the shrimps and crabmeat. Mix in the
   minced scallions and mayonnaise. Sprinkle with lemon juice and stir
   again.  Stuff the chilies with the seafood mixture and arrange on a
   plate. If serving as a salad, place 3 - 4 stuffed chilies on a bed of
   lettuce. As an appetizer, arrange on an attractive serving plate and
   add a garnish of jalapeno chile on the side.
