Chiles Toreados
$0.98 recipe | $0.12 serving
If you've been on the hunt for a way to spice up your meals, try chiles toreados! This quick and easy recipe features pan-fried serranos and onions topped with soy sauce and lime juice.
Equipment
- Cast-iron skillet
- Knife & cutting board
Ingredients
- 8-12 serrano chiles ($0.16)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil ($0.11)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced ($0.24)
- 1 clove garlic, minced ($0.04)
- ½ lime, juiced ($0.06)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce ($0.36)
- Sea salt to taste ($0.01)
Instructions
- First, preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium. While you’re waiting, lightly roll the chiles to release some spicy flavor from the seeds and veins.
- Add the chiles to the hot skillet and cook until you see blisters forming on all sides. Make sure to stir them frequently so each side cooks evenly, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer the chiles to a bowl and set that aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then the sliced onion. Sauté until translucent and slightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chiles back in.
- 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 to taste.
- Serve immediately, at room temperature, or chilled with any dish you can think of (tacos, toast, quesadillas, tofu scramble, etc.). Happy eating!

Notes
- You can also use tamari, liquid aminos, jugo Maggi, salsa inglesa, or even a bit of dark beer.
- Careful how much salt you use as the soy sauce is already quite salty. If you use reduced-sodium soy sauce, you will need to use more.
