1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the jalapeno peppers and yellow onion. Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove seeds if less heat is desired. Cut the onion into thick slices.
2
Heat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Coat with Olive Oil
In a bowl, toss the jalapenos and onion slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
4
Grill the Vegetables
Place the jalapenos and onion slices on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are charred and tender.
5
Add Lime Juice
Remove the charred vegetables from the heat. Drizzle lime juice over the top while they are still warm.
6
Serve
Serve immediately as a side dish or topping for tacos, burgers, or salads.
