Chop tomatoes into small cubes. Salt the tomatoes and add the half teaspoon of tajin to them and mix well with your hands until the tomatoes are fully spiced. Let the tomatoes sit for a few minutes then mix the remaining ingredients in a glass bowl and mix together. Let the mixture sit in the fridge for five minutes and then serve.

Provisions: 20 wings 6 lemons 4 tablespoons EVOO 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 pinch of sumac 1 pinch red pepper Sea Salt to desire

Marinade the wings in a plastic bag for half hour along with all ingredients apart from the sumac. Let them sit in the fridge for one hour. Grill wings on medium to medium high until done. Rotate wings so as not to burn them.
