Chimol facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Chimol (also known chirmol and chismol) is a common Central American cuisine or condiment topping on foods such as carne asada.

Preparation

Chimol is made of diced tomato, onion, cilantro, and bell pepper. It is seasoned with vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. It usually has a spice of some sort. Modifications to the recipe exist depending on different regions of Central America.

Uses

It is tradition to cook the tomato at the same time as the carne asada, because this gives the carna asada a juicy taste. It is used as a sauce on carna asada, with salads, with pork and with chicken breast.
