Steps:
- Mix the lime juice, soy sauce and oyster sauce in a bowl; set aside. Pour the vegetable oil into a skillet to come halfway up the sides. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the chiles until golden, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Add the warm chiles to the lime juice mixture and toss. Chill at least 3 hours.
CHILES TOREADOS
This is one of my hubby's favorite accompaniments with a meal at Acapulco's in Norwood, MA. I don't even think it's on the menu, but he's friends with the owner and a lot of the staff, so they make him all kinds of stuff that isn't on the menu. Silly-simple, but really good if you enjoy hot peppers. I'm posting this partly for safekeeping, partly because DH gets a kick out of me having recipes for pretty much everything he can think of!

Steps:
- Preheat a comal, griddle, or small cast iron skillet over medium high heat (these may also be grilled outdoors, just adjust cooking time accordingly for more intense heat).
- Slightly flatten whole chiles (the side of a large knife or cleaver works well). Rub each chile with a thin coat of oil, then roast them on the preheated pan for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until they begin to blister and char (turning occasionally).
- Remove roasted chiles to a serving dish. Sprinkle with coarse salt to taste, and squeeze lime wedges over chiles (if using).
- Serve as a bar snack, or as an accompaniment to grilled meats.
Tips:
- Choose the right chiles: Look for fresh, firm chiles with bright colors. Avoid any chiles that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Roast the chiles properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the chiles until they are charred and slightly blistered. You can do this on a grill, in a skillet, or under a broiler.
- Remove the seeds and stems: Once the chiles are roasted, carefully remove the seeds and stems. Be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from the capsaicin, which is the compound that gives chiles their heat.
- Slice the chiles thinly: For the best results, slice the chiles thinly. This will help them to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Marinate the chiles: Marinating the chiles in a mixture of lime juice, soy sauce, and spices helps to add flavor and depth. Be sure to marinate the chiles for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Serve the chiles immediately: Chiles toreados are best served immediately after they are made. They can be enjoyed on their own, or as a garnish for tacos, burritos, or other Mexican dishes.
Conclusion:
Chiles toreados are a delicious and versatile Mexican dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them mild or spicy, chiles toreados are sure to please everyone at your table.
