Mestiza Salsa
a lot of mixture


This is another amazing salsa of the Mexican recipe book, that seems to have a salsa available for almost any occasion and for each dish.

By the name of the salsa it can be sensed that there is going to be a lot of mixture and this is because of the ingredients that the Spaniards brought to America are used like the garlic, the onion, the oil, etc. And also Mexican ingredients are used like the pequin pepper and the bell pepper.



The surprise ingredient of the mestiza salsa is the avocado that gives softness and certain consistency to it . When you finish preparing it you will have an exquisite and spicy salsa, that can almost be used in any dish that has beef , chicken or fish – it could also be used in appetizers.


About the Recipe

  • To make the salsa you will work a little but everything is easy to make.
  • In the salsa bell peppers are used and we recommend using them red because those are the ones that better color and better flavor give to the salsa.

  • Only 10 minutes are needed to make the salsa.
  • This recipe yields 2 cups.

    The seeds of the bell peppers are removed so the salsa has better texture.

    2. Add in the frying pan 6 dried pequin peppers, mix the ingredients and fry them for about 30 seconds, until the pequin peppers are lightly fried; stir regularly.
    3. Transfer from the frying pan to a blender all the ingredients that were fried. Also add in the blender:
    • The pulp of 2 Avocados.
    • 1/2 tablespoon of Salt.

    A lot of Combination


    * The delicious flavor of this salsa will only last 24 hours because the avocado doesn’t preserve for a long time.
