Mexican marinated Carrots and Radishes

There used to be a Mexican restaurant which was my favorite. Their enchiladas were awesome. And of course the condiment bar was always fresh and super delicious. And one of the items there was the Mexican marinated radishes and carrots. And my hubby dear was crazy about them.

So, today for dinner its grilled fish tacos and the recipe will soon follow. But I am going to serve it along with the other fixing and also the marinated carrots and radishes. And the original recipe said to leave it atleast 2 hours before serving. I made it in the afternoon. I tasted it and its spicy and super delicious. I am pretty happy with it
