    Homemade Salsa Using A Molcajete

    September 25, 2017 By Patrick 8 Comments

    August 19, 2016 By Patrick 17 Comments

    This Wicked Chipotle Chile Pequin Salsa gets serious heat from the Chile Pequins and a rich flavor from the Chipotles. So good! Keep an eye out for Chile Pequins (Piquin) in Latin markets. mexicanplease.com

    (This Wicked Chipotle Chile Pequin Salsa relies on chipotles for flavor and chile pequins for heat!  Jump to recipe here.)
