Gustavo Romero's Taqueria-Style Salsa Packs a Punch

Salsa Taquera

Gustavo Romero from Oro by Nixta shares his recipe for salsa taquera, a street food staple across Mexico. This salsa features fresh tomatillos, smoky chile de árbol, and fragrant garlic and onion, all cooked and blended to create a smooth, rich texture. It's the perfect addition to any meal—whether drizzled over tacos, served with crispy tortilla chips, or stirred into a caldo. With just the right mix of heat and freshness, this salsa is one to keep stocked in your fridge for spicing up your dishes.

Hi Joy! Your salsa taquera should last about 5-7 days in the fridge in an airtight container. For the best taste, try to use it within the first few days. Just keep an eye on it, and if anything seems off, don’t hesitate to toss it. Enjoy!

Approximately how long does this keep in the fridge?

Hi Robert! Yes, other oils can be used for this recipe! We recommend using neutral oils like avocado or sunflower oil, as they have a mild flavor that won’t compete with the other ingredients. These oils work well for letting the rich, smoky flavors of the chiles and nuts shine through.
