1 cup grated carrots
1 medium red onion, grated
1 medium white onion, grated
1 green bell pepper, grated

3 Limes
½ tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
About 2 cups white vinegar (enough to fully cover the vegetables)

Add to blender:
Habanero, sazon packet, adobo, chicken bouillon, sazon complete, white vinegar, and lime juice.
Mix together:
Pour liquid blended spices over shredded vegetables. Stir with spoon then wear a glove to mix and toss blended spices with veggies.
