Directions

Preheat broiler. Place whole peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 4 inches from heat 7 to 10 minutes or until charred, turning occasionally. Bring foil up around peppers and fold edges together to enclose. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel off and discard skins.* Remove stems, seeds, and membranes; chop peppers.
-
Remove 1/2 tsp. zest and squeeze 1 Tbsp. juice from lime. In a medium bowl combine chopped peppers, lime zest and juice, tomato, onion, and cilantro. Stir in avocados. Season to taste with salt.
*Tip
Chile peppers contain oils that can irritate your skin and eyes. Wear plastic or rubber gloves when working with them.
