Simple & easy, these pickled red onions are the perfect condiment to brighten any meal.
I made these for my Tortas Ahogadas, but you can eat them with pretty much anything. They are tangy with a little bit of crunch. I think they pair best with sandwiches and rice bowls!
I tried to make mine as close to the pickled red onions that Portos serves with their lechon plate. Ive tried many different types of pickled onions, and so far that one has been my favorite.
Ingredients
It’s a very short list- only 3 ingredients!
Red onion- you can use white or yellow onions too. Make sure they are sliced thinly. I like to slice them into rings.
Salt
Lime juice
Optional ingredients- for a little added heat & flavor, you can add some chopped cilantro and/or chili peppers. Dried red chilies or roasted jalapeno/serrano peppers are great!
