CHILES TOREADOS
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!

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.

Steps:
- Begin by adding the peppers to a mixing bowl. Add in the oil, and mix around until you know all of the peppers have been coated with the oil. Add these to a cast iron skillet, and heat on medium to medium-high heat. As the skillet comes to temperature, begin moving the peppers around in the skillet, making sure all of the sides become roasted. This should take anywhere for 8-12 minutes for them to roast. As soon as the peppers are fully roasted, carefully move them to the mixing bowl and shower them with the salt, gently mixing. Add them to a serving bowl and have your guests (that like hot and spicy) add one to their plate. You simply eat them whole, starting with the smaller tip, and eating your way down. These can be served alongside just about anything, and they go perfect if you and your friends are drinking beer.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Poblano and Anaheim peppers are the most common choices for chiles toreados, but you can also use other mild to medium-heat peppers, such as bell peppers, chiles güeros, or serranos.
- Roast the peppers properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the peppers until they are slightly charred and softened. You can do this on a grill, under a broiler, or over an open flame.
- Remove the seeds and veins: Once the peppers are roasted, remove the seeds and veins. This will help to reduce the heat level of the peppers and make them easier to digest.
- Season the peppers: There are many ways to season chiles toreados. Some popular options include olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. You can also add herbs, such as cilantro or oregano, or spices, such as cumin or chili powder.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Chiles toreados are best served immediately, while they are still warm and flavorful. They can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.
Conclusion:
Chiles toreados are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great way to add flavor and heat to your meals. These are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
