Mother-in-Law Salsa
Careful Sons-in-Law!


By the name of this salsa we can sense that some surprise or maybe some tragedy lies ahead. The tradition from Colima says that this is the recipe that the housewives prepared to their sons-in-law when they went to visit... the test consisted in checking how much hotness they could resist.

Although the reality is that not everything is horrible in the mother-in-law salsa because in the preparation also many fresh ingredients are used, that give a very good flavor to the whole salsa . In fact the salsa also has an acidic and potent touch that comes from the tomatillos and the spring onion stalks – some fantastic ingredients.



The consistency of the salsa is thick and is perfect to accompany popular homemade meals like a good plate of beans with rice , a grilled steak , a cecina , etc.

– You see sons-in-law it did not go that bad, you only have a small test with the hotness of the salsa.
