Answer : SALSA
salsa – n
spicy sauce of tomatoes and onions and chilli peppers to accompany Mexican foods.
“Salsa” translates literally as “sauce,” and encompasses a wide variety of forms. When most Americans speak of “salsa,” they are typically referring to a condiment made with tomatoes, onions and chillis.
While salsa is known by varying names, recados, moles, mojos, recaitos, chimmichurris or sofritos, all provide heat and perk up foods.
Salsas are poured over eggs, fajitas, seafood stews, boiled potatoes, grilled beef and roast chicken, used as dips for tortillas, tacos and breads, and as toppings for quesadillas, enchiladas or antojitos (snacks).
Salsas can be served cooked or fresh and are called salsa cruda, salsa fresca or salsa verde. Fresh salsas are made with tomatillos, avocados, fresh green chillis, spices and lime juice while cooked salsas use roasted tomatoes, spices and dried red chillis. They can be smooth or coarsely textured, thick or thin, mild or hot. Pico de gallo is also called salsa fresca and salsa cruda.
