About

The smoky flavor of this salsa pairs well with beef, and Mom always serves it alongside her brisket. In fact, I can always count on finding this salsa in Mom’s refrigerator. She and I like very spicy salsas, and we love the intensity of this one. Grandma always had a mild salsa casera in her kitchen and Mom always has a smoky and spicy chile de arbol salsa
