Considered an indispensable companion to tacos, salsa taquera has a sweet and spicy balance perfect for punching up their flavor. This spoonable one from Xilli has robust flavor and deep earthy red color, flecked with bits of black char from the roasted vegetables for a noticeable smokiness. Chipotles give it an almost chocolatey sweetness and a subtle tang on the finish. Though not overpowering, this salsa does leave a lingering heat that complements any dish it’s served with, from tacos and tortilla chips to chilaquiles.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use this salsa as a topping on tacos, tostadas, in place of salsa verde in our Chilaquiles Verdes or just to simply dip your tortilla chips. We also loved it in these Seared Shrimp Tacos with Tomatoes and Cotija, either drizzled on at the end or cooked in with the shrimp.
