Chimol (also known as chirmol[1]) is a common Central American cuisine condiment or topping on foods such as carne asada.
Preparation
[edit]Chimol is made of diced tomato, bell pepper, and onion. It is seasoned with lime juice, salt, and black pepper.[2] It usually has a spice of some sort, and sometimes with vinegar too. Modifications to the recipe exist depending on different regions of Central America.
Uses
[edit]It is tradition to cook the tomato at the same time as the carne asada, because this gives the carne asada a juicy taste. It is used as a sauce on carne asada, with salads, with pork and with chicken breast.
