Lemon juice is a cost-effective substitute.

1

Roast the red, orange, and yellow bell peppers along with 6 jalapeños directly over the flame or on a comal or skillet with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

2

Once roasted, let the peppers cool and place them in a plastic bag to sweat, making peeling easier (optional).

3

Peel the roasted peppers without washing them; if needed, use a paper towel to help with peeling.

4

Cut the peeled jalapeños into long strips.

5

Slice half of a large red onion into rings.

6

In a bowl, mix 1/8 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of water.

7

Squeeze the juice of 1 large lime into the mixture and add 1 teaspoon of salt; mix well and taste to adjust the vinegar strength by adding more water if necessary.

8

Add the roasted peppers and the vinegar mixture to the bowl.

9

Add fresh cilantro leaves by tearing them off the stems without chopping them.

10

Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of oregano (optional) and mix everything together.
