While traveling through the Yucatan area of Mexico, we found one local condiment that made most local dishes that we tried just that much better. In the Yucatan almost every taco and most sandwiches are dressed spicy Mexican pickled onions – Escabeche de Cebolla.
The idea is to enhance the flavor of grilled and slow cooked meats, adding a little spicy kick without overwhelming the dish. Many of the marinades use tangy vinegar and citrus as a base which combines beautifully with the savory flavor of the meat.
Don’t forget to pin or bookmark the recipe for later!
The pickled onions add a little crunchy texture and a pop of flavor that brings all the flavors together. Try it with our Barbacoa Beef Tacos – muy delicioso! Our recipe calls for Mexican oregano, but substituting it with standard dried oregano will also work well.
