- What the Name Means
- The name "salsa molcajeteada" means salsa made in a molcajete.
- You can substitute jalapeños for the serrano chiles. You can make the salsa with just Roma tomatoes or just tomatillos.
- If you prefer a less chunky salsa, chop the ingredients finer before grinding them in the molcajete.
- Really charring the ingredients adds lots of flavor to the salsa.
- You do not need to remove the seeds and veins from the chiles.
- Be sure to add enough salt to the salsa so that all of the flavors really pop. The salsa should be a little bit salty when you taste it on its own. When you add it to your food it won't taste as salty.
- You can also make this salsa in the blender. It will still taste great.
- It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
