Mexican Chili
What is salsa macha?
Salsa macha is a bold mexican chili oil made with dried chiles, garlic, seeds, nuts, and oil. it originated in veracruz, chiapas, and oaxaca — regions where indigenous and spanish culinary traditions blend. ingredients like morita, ancho, and árbol chiles are toasted, mixed with garlic, sesame seeds, and peanuts, then fried in oil to create a spicy, crunchy, and deeply flavorful salsa.
some versions, like our grasshopper salsa, even include toasted insects — a beloved, protein-rich ingredient in traditional mexican cuisine.
handmade and packed with flavor, salsa macha is perfect on tacos, meats, eggs, snacks… or just about anything.
Ingredients
How to Make Salsa Macha?
To make salsa macha, you’ll need dried chiles like ancho, guajillo, or chile de árbol (for extra heat). the chiles are toasted to enhance flavor, then blended with garlic, nuts, and seeds like sesame or peanuts.
these ingredients are then gently fried in hot oil — usually canola, though other neutral oils work too — until perfectly toasted.
some recipes include extras like oregano, vinegar, or a touch of sugar.
the key? use top-quality ingredients — and always cook with love.

What Do You Eat with Salsa Macha?
The versatility of salsa macha extends beyond Mexican dishes. Mendez says it goes well with all savory foods, from pasta and pizza to tacos and garnachas (fried corn tortillas crowned with meat, beans, cabbage, salsa, and cheese).
Drizzle salsa macha on your scrambled eggs, a halved avocado, or corn on the cob. You can also whisk the condiment into salad dressing, slather a little on your turkey sandwich, or brush it on roasted veggies. “I even eat it on sushi,” Mendez says.
