Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium white onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 poblano chiles*
1 fresh jalapeƱo chile
2 red bell peppers
1 garlic clove, unpeeled
1/4 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano*
available at Mexican markets.

Steps:

  • Prepare grill.
  • Secure each onion slice horizontally with a wooden pick and brush both sides with oil. Season onion slices with salt and pepper and grill with chiles and bell peppers on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning them occasionally, until soft and charred, about 20 minutes. Wearing rubber gloves, peel, seed, and devein chiles. Peel bell peppers and discard seeds and ribs. Cut chiles and bell peppers into strips.
  • Heat a dry comal or flat iron griddle over moderately low heat until hot and pan-roast garlic, turning it occasionally to ensure even roasting, until browned and soft throughout, about 25 to 30 minutes. Discard garlic skin.
  • In a small heavy skillet dry-roast oregano over moderate heat until fragrant and beginning to brown, shaking skillet occasionally, about 2 minutes. In a bowl mash together oregano, garlic, and salt to taste. Add onion slices, separated into rings, chiles, and bell peppers and toss to combine well.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my kids, but my husband and I loved it. We'll definitely be making it again, but we'll use milder peppers next time.

The rajas were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try draining them on paper towels next time.

I'm not a huge fan of rajas, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The rajas were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the rajas are always so flavorful. I usually add a bit of extra cheese and sour cream on top.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use milder peppers or reduce the amount of chili powder.

Just tried this recipe and it turned out great! The rajas were flavorful and had a nice kick to them. I used a combination of poblano and Anaheim peppers, and they worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing!

This rajas recipe was a hit at our dinner party! The flavors were incredible, and the dish was so easy to make. I especially loved the smoky flavor from the roasted poblano peppers. Will definitely be making this again!
