Ingredients
  

Method
 

  1. Cook peppers. Heat oil in the largest skillet you own over high heat. Add the peppers (careful they will spatter). And let cook, stirring every 30 seconds or so, until blistered and charred on all sides. This will take anywhere from 4-10 minutes depending on how hot your burner gets.
  2. Add seasoning and serve. Remove pan from heat. Add garlic and salt and toss letting garlic cook in the residual heat. Transfer immediatley to a platter or large plate to prevent the garlic from burning. Squeeze a lime half over the peppers and taste. Sprinkle with more salt and lime if desired.
