Whole30 Pickled Red Onions

January 31, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Whole30 Pickled Red Onions

Mexican food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, please. I’ll start with huevos rancheros or chilaquiles and then move on to tacos, tacos, tacos. Take a super simple grilled chicken and top it with tangy tomatillo salsa and some pickled red onions, and you’re elevating it a completely different beast.

Sure, filling your tortilla with crispy-edged carnitas or a juicy brisket is a good start, but the condiments are crucial. The acidity and crunch of pickled onions adds not only flavor and texture, but also a bright pop of color.

I keep these stocked in my refrigerator for a delicious addition to not just tacos, but salads, sandwiches and scrambled eggs. Whole30, healthy and delicious! Try them and I swear you will never look back…
