Pickled onion and chile is a tangy and spicy condiment popular in many Latin American cuisines, particularly in Mexican and Caribbean dishes. Typically made with red onions, fresh chiles like jalapeños or habaneros, vinegar, lime juice, and sometimes a hint of salt or sugar, this preparation delivers bold flavors that complement tacos, grilled meats, and salads. The vinegar-based pickling process helps preserve the onions and enhances their digestibility. Onions are rich in antioxidants, such as quercetin, which can support heart health, while chiles provide capsaicin, linked to anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting effects. However, moderation is key, as the high acidity may be harsh for sensitive stomachs, and excessive spice can cause discomfort in some individuals. This vibrant topping is a great way to add flavor and a dose of nutrients without relying on heavy or high-calorie sauces.
