Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chiles

    Rinse the fresh green chiles under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. If desired, you can remove the stems and seeds for a milder flavor.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chiles

    Add the prepared green chiles to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chiles are tender and slightly blistered.

  4. 4

    Add Freshness

    Remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the chiles and toss in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the chiles to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle cheese on top and serve warm as a side dish.
