escabeche-spicy-tangy-and-the-perfect-taco-side

This was always in my grandma’s fridge. She had this Tupperware container with a built-in strainer, making it easy to get the perfect jalapeño/carrot combo. Growing up in Chicago, I’d play baseball at McKinley Park, then hit Los Comales (a local Chicago taco chain)—and sure enough, there was always a container of escabeche on the table. It’s the perfect accompaniment for tacos, tortas, grilled meats, or straight from the fridge when you need a spicy snack.
