Methods/steps

In a large skillet, place the bell peppers and chiles in a single layer. Add the rest of the ingredients and heat the skillet so that the vegetables begin to fry. Turn once and fry for 2 minutes.

Remove the vegetables to a bowl and mash the vegetables together, removing any skins of the chiles.
