- 1 poblano or 2 large jalapeño chiles
- Vegetable oil
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into ¼-inch dice

- ½ cup finely diced sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, to your taste
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Lightly rub the poblano with oil and roast over a gas flame or under a broiler until blackened all over, turning occasionally. Transfer the chile to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam until collapsed and cool. Peel, seed, and finely chop the chile.
