Quick Pickled Red Onions
Pickled red onions are one of my favorite condiments to pile on top of grilled fish or pulled pork tacos. I had a craving for a taco feast this week and decided to make my favorite Baked Fish Tacos. Along with the standard classics Guacamole and Pico de Gallo, I decided to whip up a batch of pickled red onions. I found this ridiculously easy recipe on Bon Appétit and the results were sweet and crunchy — a perfect match for smokey and spicy flavors. I think these should be an essential condiment for any taco fiesta or summer BBQ!
