Gustavo Romero's Charred Mango-Habanero Salsa
July 2, 2026
Chef Gustavo Romero of Oro by Nixta returns with another lesson from his salsa masterclass, this time highlighting the magic of the tatemado technique. By charring ripe mangoes alongside habaneros, tomatoes, onion, and garlic, this mango habanero salsa develops a deep, smoky sweetness that perfectly balances its fiery kick. Blended until silky smooth with fresh lime and cilantro, it's a versatile salsa that's just as good with totopos as it is spooned over tacos, grilled seafood, roasted vegetables, or your favorite proteins.
