Ive known this as "CURTIDO" and "CHIMOL" is a tomato based sauce or salsa for Carne Asada?

Pretty good recipe, a good twist on the traditional spiciness of salsa. Next time I will grill the tomatoes a bit first, add a Tablespoon of fresh lime juice, and a teaspoon of sugar as well to bring out more of the great flavor of the radishes.

This is a great salsa that can be used in many ways. A traditional salsa used at cookouts on steak! although when we make this at my house we grill the tomato just a litlle twist!!

This is some good stuff! It's great by itself like a salad or as a dip with tortilla chips. So much healthier and lower in calories since there is no oil like in other dips and salads. I will be at least doubling this next time I make it. Thanks!
