Ingredients
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- 2 limes juiced
- 1-3 habaneros finely sliced (seeds removed if less heat is desired)
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl and allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for a beautiful bright pink hue.
- Enjoy these with your favorite tacos or pair them with grilled meats. Buen provecho!
Notes
- For a milder heat, remove the habanero seeds before adding them to the mix.
- Let the onions marinate overnight for the most vibrant color and best flavor.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best acidity—bottled juice won’t have the same brightness.
- Try adding a splash of orange juice for a hint of natural sweetness that balances the acidity and spice.
