Xnipec (Yucatecan Habanero and Sour Orange Salsa)
Xnipec
The name xnipec means 'dog's nose' in Maya - because it is so spicy that you sweat from the nose like a dog. Fresh, uncooked, brutally hot, and the non-negotiable companion to cochinita pibil. Red onion, habanero, tomato, and sour orange - that is all it is.
