I grew up in a house where the roast of Chilis was a weekly event. But as much as I love the smoky aroma and the memories of family dishes that bring it back, I don’t always have the time to fry and peel stacks of chillies.
That’s why I always have a few cans of fire -breeded, diced green chilli in my pantry. They are an underestimated canned food that effortlessly gives a great taste for some of my family’s most popular comfort food.

Why I love green chilli in doses
If I don’t have time to fry chiles myself, I turn to the cans. My favorite chili for roasts are poblanos (I like it sharp!), But the canned versions usually use anaheim peppers that have a similar earthy taste. They are a little milder and have a touch of sweet and tang. This makes them a general audience plan that they can use in all possible dishes. And they are also budget-friendly-I usually get 4 -unzen cans at Kroger Or Ralphs or Trader Joe’s for a dollar.
Since she is already roasted, peeled, disappointed and seasoned, I only have to drain them before adding them to my recipes. In my house, green chillies in doses can be found in everything, from quesadillas and enchiladas suizas to cheese and cheddar cookies and even acidic dips based on sour frames. They are also a great way to spice up omelets, cans, stews and much more.
How to make roasted green chili
The roast of chilis is not exactly difficult, but it takes a few steps before you are ready to go. My mother taught me to fry her by her directly over one Comal– until they were almost completely charred. To save some time, you can, as my mother often did, and to align them on a baking sheet and then put them under the broiler until they achieve the same blackened result.
After you have removed the chillies from the stove, immediately transfer them to a glass container with an airtight lid to catch the steam generated during the roast process. This “sweating” press loosens the skin and makes it easier to peel after a few minutes. Then create a slot in every pepper and scratch the seeds and veins away – because most of the heat is saved here before cutting or diceing them.
If you decide to try this DIY method, open the windows in your home, because while you smell good, you to release capsaicin into the air while roasting what can irritate your neck and eyes and literally give you the feeling of suffocation.
