Salsa macha

Salsa Macha is a traditional Mexican sauce made from a base of dried chili peppers, nuts, and seeds. The sauce is typically used as a condiment for meats and vegetables, or as a dip.

The exact origins of Salsa Macha are unknown, but the sauce is thought to date back to the Aztec and Maya civilizations. The sauce was likely created as a way to add flavor and spice to otherwise bland food.

Salsa Macha recipes vary greatly, but all versions of the sauce share a common key ingredient: chili peppers. The peppers give the sauce its distinctive heat, while the nuts and seeds add texture and flavor.
