Salsa De Arbol is a salsa for those who can't get enough of that spicy heat in their lives. The term Arbol refers to the name of the pepper and translates to "tree chili" in English. They're also known as bird beak peppers. These small, red chili peppers can pack a big punch in any dish. The heat in Arbol peppers is about six times more than the heat brought on by jalapeños. These peppers are more commonly found in their dried form & require soaking in hot water for 20-30 minutes to soften them to blend smoothly into the sauce. Some versions of this spicy salsa don't even contain tomatoes. It's only the Arbol peppers mixed with onions, cilantro & lime juice and can make a grown man cry instantly. This Salsa De Arbol combines roasted Roma tomatoes, onions, garlic, soaked Arbol peppers, lime juice, cilantro & sea salt, blended and chilled. Salsa De Arbol is a spicy dip for tortilla chips, added to tacos or fajitas and anywhere else you want to add some kick to your meals.
