I love chili rellenos but needed to eat a little healthier and less fried food.. if you like lots of flavor you will love this... just beware that sometimes your peppers might be hotter than you realize.

Reduce the heat to med and then add the garlic, tomatoes, and dry seasonings. Cook 2 more minutes then turn off the heat and sprinkle lime juice over the veggies.
