Chihuahua Style
Salsa


This is an amazing salsa and by its name is possible that you imagine a spicy salsa with a combination of dried chilies...

The reality is that this salsa is a kind of exquisite spicy mayonnaise, which is combined with pasilla pepper and serrano pepper, that make it moderately spicy. Within the salsa a sweet and smoky touch can also be found, that give a fantastic flavor.

The recipe comes to us from the family kitchens in the state of Chihuahua and it is ideal to accompany dishes with beef or chicken but is also perfect to accompany vegetables and even salads or why not also use it to give a lot of flavor to a sandwich.
