  • About

My mom invented this salsa and it’s really unique. It was a way to give a different flavor to our everyday tomato-based dipping salsa for the table at home. It was one of the only salsas that we ate with chips as a snack because of the strong cinnamon flavor. It goes to show you how Oaxaqueños will find a way to spice up even the simplest things. Serve it as a pre-game snack. It also goes great with a cold, dark Mexican beer.
