Ingredients

▢ 8 cebollitas cambray (Mexican green onions)
▢ 1 teaspoon olive oil
▢ ½ lime (juiced)
▢ salt (to taste)

Instructions

Trim off any wilted or damaged parts of the green onions. Then wash them under cold water and pat dry them with kitchen paper towels.
Preheat your grill to high heat. If using charcoal, ensure it is fully lit and the coals are ashed over. If using a gas grill, preheat for about 10-15 minutes.
Once the grill is ready, place the green onions directly on the grill grates and brush them with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance the grilling process.
Grill them for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and tender. Rotate them occasionally for even cooking.
Once they are grilled to your liking, place them on a serving platter and drizzle them with lime juice and sprinkle them with salt.
Serve along with carne asada or your favorite grilled meats.

Notes

Look for fresh, firm spring onions with vibrant green tops. Avoid wilted or discolored ones.
It is important to rinse the Mexican green onions under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are white and glowing.
You can also add other seasonings like Maggi sauce or soy sauce.
