Haha, Chirmol must be like BBQ sauce... everyone makes it differently. My mother and grandmother raised me on a totally different version. We don't cook our tomatoes, and we use only salt, lime, onions and cilantro. It's divine over black beans and rice! Simple and delicious.

My understanding is that "chirmol" is a variation on a Maya word meaning, loosely, "confetti" (which would apply to our version but not yours). Interesting! I can't wait to try your version. Love, una Chapina!
