Arbol Pepper Salsa
very spicy


Mexico is a land where a wide variety of chilies are grown and thus they are a key ingredient of the Mexican cuisine. The diversity of salsas and stews that are based in the combination of different chilies with other ingredients to obtain preparations full of flavor, is endless.

The arbol pepper salsa is just a sample of that gastronomic richness . The arbol pepper is a chili that is dried, thin, small and extremely spicy. Moreover due to its extreme thinness is very difficult to remove the veins and seeds to reduce its hotness.



In this salsa the arbol pepper is only combined with tomato, garlic, oil and salt. Only a few ingredients are used but a fresh and very spicy salsa is obtained – therefore you have to be careful. It is a salsa that can be used in tacos or in some stew that needs more hotness and flavor.
