Gustavo Romero of Oro by Nixta brings a fresh twist to traditional salsa macha with a bright-green blend of chiles and seeds. Unlike the classic salsa macha, which typically relied on dried chiles and nuts, this version features fresh poblanos and serranos combined with garlic, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds for a rich, earthy flavor and satisfying crunch. Lime juice, cilantro, and scallions add freshness, balancing out the deep, smoky notes from the chiles. This salsa is a perfect balance of heat, smokiness, and citrus—ideal for drizzling over tacos, grilled meats, or anything in need of a flavorful kick.
