These slivered reddish gems are the perfect addition to every Mexican meal. Ophelia’s have the best flavor and crunch, and, though cebollas are intended to be condiments, her guests often find it difficult not to pile their tortillas full. Add slivered chiles, a little or a lot, for some heat.
Put all ingredients into a small saucepan. Simmer covered, on medium to low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the onions are soft. Do not overcook or they will be soggy. Add the slivered chiles and chill in the refrigerator. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
