Ingredients
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp epazote (Mexican Oregano) optional
Instructions
- If using the epazote, briefly toast in a dry skillet. Set aside.
- Start a kettle of boiling water. In a large, heat-proof bowl, add the thinly sliced red onion. Pour enough of the boiling water to cover the red onions. Allow to set for about 60 seconds. Drain the red onions and add the remaining ingredients (including epazote, if using) to the bowl and mix well. Allow to marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Use immediately and store the remaining onions in some (if not all) of the juice.
