- Prepare grill or heat grill pan on stove top.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- Lay an onion slice on a flat work surface.
- Poke the skewer through center of the 1/2-inch-thick side of the onion slice, carefully pushing the skewer all the way through the onion slice and out the other side.
- The skewer and onion should resemble something like a lollipop.
- If the skewer is long enough push another onion slice onto the skewer.
- Skewer the remaining onion slices in the same manner.
- Brush onions on both sides with thin coats of oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill the onions, flipping occasionally, until browned and lightly charred, about 10 to 15 minutes.

- Coarsely chop the grilled onions and add to the lime mixture, tossing to coat.
