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.
