Salsa macha

Wikipedia

Salsa macha can be made from a variety of chiles

Salsa macha is a Mexican spicy condiment typically made of vegetable oil, dried chilies, garlic and salt. The chilies may be chile de árbol, serrano, chipotle, pequin or morita.[1] Its origin is possibly Veracruz.[2] Its name comes from the verb machacar ("to mash") because of its original preparation being crushed in a mortar. It can be used to accompany pozole, tacos, carne asada, fish, quesadillas, chamorro, botanas, etc.
