  2. I will try this recipe, but are the pablano’s spicy? I don’t eat lots of spicy food. If I do it has to be a very mild spice

  4. Hola Pati! Anne Hoffman here. Would you ever try this with chicken?

    I was thinking grilled chicken, rajas on top, and cheese on top of that. Not a tuna fan, and I don’t know that this would work with chicken salad. Que opinas?

  6. I made this tonite – it was EXCELLENT!! So much fun grilling the poblanos. I had to put in 4 TB mayo into the tuna, 2 TB just wasn’t holding it together. We are having it again tomorrow. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

  7. I just finished making the pickled poblanos. They look amazing. I roasted them on the grill. It took no time at all. It was fun hearing the seeds pop in the peppers. Dinner will be special tonight! Thank you!

  8. Very tasty! Not one of those “you’ve had them a thousand times tuna sandwiches.” We love the rajas in many dishes. The more I make your recipes the more I am impressed. Thanks.
