Looking for a snack tonight while watching Nascar start the season, so I took my newly acquired Hatch green chiles and made some fajitas.

Corn tortillas to serve.
Sour Cream

Tomatillos:
4 Slice against the grain and sear in a wok on the BGE or stove.

Wow, Richard, those look FANTASTIC! All the flavors I love. I have all the ingredients on hand, so that is definitely a must-do for me.
My frozen Hatch chiles are the hot variety. Which kind did you use?

I received the HOT also and they are just fine for my old body. Any hotter has to be THAI hot and that I quit doing since my time in SE Asia in Bangkok in '68.
Shrimp would be great for the fajitas also. IMHO. -
Awesome. Sure does look good!! What a meal!

This is excellent, I never knew how to use fresh tomatillos, so I've been using *gasp* canned ones. Thanks for the pics and recipe!

Richard, I guess I'll have to get a wok now. Although my wife has been warning me for months, "no more kitchen gadgets, we don't have room". What size wok do I need?
-
Mine is 14" dia with metal handles and sits in the spider for the large or on top the grate.
Some like to use one with a single long handle for better control and tossing of the food.
Both do the job, but I find the one with the handle does not allow me to close the lid when using a bamboo steamer.
