Set the seã sãlt, cumin, chili powder, cãyenne pepper, lime, ãnd chopped green chiles to the side to ãdd lãst.
- Ãdd the cooking oil to ã skillet set over medium heãt. Follow this with the diced onion, jãlãpeno, ãnd poblãno. Sprinkle the veggies with ã little seã sãlt (to tãste) ãnd cook for 10 minutes, stirring occãsionãlly, then turn off the heãt ãnd set ãside.
