Ingredients
- 6 fresh chiles. Jalapeños, Chile Güerito (yellow hot chili pepper) or Serrano peppers Pick your favorite or any combination of these 3 peppers.
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ large onion (white or yellow) sliced into thin strips
- 6 Tbsp soy sauce, Worcestershire or maggi seasoning
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
Instructions
- Wash the peppers very well and create a small slit with a knife. This will prevent the peppers from burst when sautéing them.
- Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high, preferably an iron skillet or a comal, and add the 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Add the peppers and when they're blistered on one side add the onions to the skillet if using any. Try to arrange the onions evenly on the skillet.
- Rotate the chiles until all sides are blistered. Meanwhile, continue to sauté the onions until soft & brown.
- Remove from heat and add your preferred condiment (soy sauce, Worcestershire or maggi seasoning) and lime juice.
- Served while hot or at room temperature.
