Bird Beak Salsa


The curious name of this salsa is due to the chili that stars it. The pico de pajaro (bird beak) pepper is originally from the state of Hidalgo. It is a dried chili of small size, is of red color and it is very spicy.

The amazing thing about this salsa is that the pico de pajaro pepper is combined with spicy peanuts , that give a formidable seasoning to the salsa. The texture of the salsa is grainy and apart from being a spicy salsa it has a lot of flavor.



The bird beak salsa is formidable to put to a pizza , it really is an excellent combination. It is also a good option to give a touch of seasoning to quesadillas , tacos , tostadas , etc.
