In love with Chilera


The tastiest preperation in all the lands is Chilera. It's a type of vegetable-chunk-heavy salsa prepared in vinegar, and I've enjoyed it in Belize (topping stewed chicken, rice & beans) and Guatemala (topping everything on my plate), and I'm comforted by the knowledge it's available at least as far south as Costa Rica, maybe further. I know for a fact a mountain of Chilera is the ideal condiment for Salvadoran papusas.

Take chunks of chili peppers, onions, green beans, cauliflower, and anything else you might want, soak it in vinegar (and probably a number of other spices) and presto, the best tasting condiment in the world. In fact, I often eat it alone when I've cleaned my plate, bulging inside a fresh tortilla.
