Step 1

Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium. In the meantime, lightly roll the chiles to release some spicy flavor from the seeds and veins.

Step 2

Add the chiles to the hot skillet and cook them for about 5-6 minutes or until you see blisters forming on all sides. Make sure to stir them frequently so each side cooks evenly. Transfer the chiles to a bowl.

Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sauté the onions for 4 minutes until they're translucent and slightly browned. Add the minced garlic and chiles back in.

Step 4

Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized to your liking. Lastly, mix in the lime juice, soy sauce, and salt.

Step 5

Serve your chiles toreados immediately, at room temperature, or chilled with tacos, toast, quesadillas, tofu scramble, etc. Happy eating!
