Salsa Roja de Morita

This is my go-to salsa to whip up if I want to impress somebody. I remember being at a friend’s party and being so blown away by it that I grabbed an empty bottle and took some home with me because it was that amazing. It’s a showstopper and once people taste it, they will think you are the best salsa maker in the world. The secret ingredient is the morita chile, which is a fiercer variation on a smoked jalapeño than a chipotle.
