Green Chile Strips
Rajas de ChilesRoasted and peeled fresh green chiles cut into strips are called rajas, and are combined with other vegetables, stirred into egg and meat dishes, and used as a garnish. Poblano chiles are the most popular and common chile to be used for rajas, but Anaheims and other large fresh peppers are also prepared in the same way. Here, as is common, the chile strips are briefly sautéed
