Fought Chilies


These chilies are the perfect touch to gladden a simple cheese sandwich or to give a point of flavor to some tasty beef tacos. Whenever you want to give a strong and spicy flavor to a dish – don’t forget to turn to the fought chilies.

The beauty about this recipe is that not only chilies will be found in the salsa bowl... they are also accompanied with fried onions and a magical juice that is used to season them . You will love all this combination.

The use of the word “fought" to name this recipe is strange . But the reason for which this name was assigned is because in the past before cutting and frying the chilies they were rubbed against any surface with the hands.



This makes that the oil from the seeds distributes to the chili, causing it to be even more spicy . Possibly this action resembles to make a bull angry.

*If you want to add this step to the preparation, we recommend that you do it with a rag or with gloves; so your hands don’t get burned.
