Make sure to cut the onions and peppers into big pieces so that they don’t fall through the grill grates.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 red onion, quartered
2 red bell peppers, halved lengthwise, seeds removed
1 bunch scallions
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/2 pounds kielbasa sausage, halved lengthwise
8 corn or flour tortillas
1/2 bunch cilantro
Hot sauce and lime wedges (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Toss onion, bell peppers, and scallions with oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and black pepper. Grill vegetables until lightly charred and tender, about 2 minutes for scallions and 10 minutes for onion and bell peppers. Transfer to a cutting board as they are done; let cool.

    Step 2

    Slice onion into 1" wedges; place in a medium bowl and toss with lime juice. Remove skins from bell peppers, then cut into bite-size pieces; place in a small bowl. Place scallions on a platter.

    Step 3

    Grill sausage, turning halfway through, until lightly charred and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to platter with scallions.

    Step 4

    Lightly char tortillas and serve warm with kielbasa, scallions, onion, bell peppers, cilantro, hot sauce, and lime wedges for squeezing over.
