Salsa macha is an oil-based Mexican salsa made with golden fried garlic and dried árbol chiles.



If you like spicy Mexican salsas, you are going to love Salsa Macha! It's a simple, three ingredient salsa that is rich in flavor and heavy on the heat. The small town we call home is known for producing the best árbol chiles in the world, and in this salsa the unique earthy flavor of the chile de árbol de Yahualica really shines through. A little bit of this salsa goes a long way, so use sparingly. Salsa macha can be served with soups like menudo, Pozole Rojo, Cocido (beef stew), and/or Caldo de Pollo (chicken soup), but it's also delicious served over everything from carne asada to eggs and even a fresh green salad.

Ingredients: 

  • 7 roma tomatoes, cut in quarters
  • 3 serrano chiles, stems removed 
  • 2 cloves garlic, with skin still on   
  • 1/2 medium white onion, cut in large chunks 
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Directions: 
Heat a comal or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Roast the tomatoes, serrano chiles, garlic, and onions over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the ingredients have softened and are lightly charred. Remove from heat and carefully peel skin from garlic.

Puree the tomatoes, serrano chiles, garlic, and onion with the fresh cilantro until smooth. Pour salsa into a medium bowl; season with salt to taste. Enjoy!   


Tip: Change up the flavor of your salsa by using different varieties of chile peppers. Some of my favorite chiles to use are jalapeños, chiles güeros (yellow peppers), and banana peppers. 

Yields 1-1/2 to 2 cups
