Chiles Toreados image

This is one of my hubby's favorite accompaniments with a meal at Acapulco's in Norwood, MA. I don't even think it's on the menu, but he's friends with the owner and a lot of the staff, so they make him all kinds of stuff that isn't on the menu. Silly-simple, but really good if you enjoy hot peppers. I'm posting this partly for safekeeping, partly because DH gets a kick out of me having recipes for pretty much everything he can think of!

Categories     Peppers

Time 20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 -16 hot peppers (either serranos or jalapenos are best)
vegetable oil (for rubbing chilis)
coarse salt (to taste)
lime wedge (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat a comal, griddle, or small cast iron skillet over medium high heat (these may also be grilled outdoors, just adjust cooking time accordingly for more intense heat).
  • Slightly flatten whole chiles (the side of a large knife or cleaver works well). Rub each chile with a thin coat of oil, then roast them on the preheated pan for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until they begin to blister and char (turning occasionally).
  • Remove roasted chiles to a serving dish. Sprinkle with coarse salt to taste, and squeeze lime wedges over chiles (if using).
  • Serve as a bar snack, or as an accompaniment to grilled meats.
