XNI PEC, HABANERO SALSA

Habanero chilli is originated from Mexico and is the hottest chilli in the world and this salsa is prepared with this particular chilli. Xni Pec is the name of this salsa which means, Dog's nose. The nose of a dog is always wet; the same way if you consume this Habanero chilli Salsa, it makes your nose wet because of the hotness of the chilli.

I got some chillies from the market which looked the same texture of Habanero. Thick, short and very spicy. But it's color is dark green.

When I prepared the salsa today, it was spicy and I could eat it with tortilla, but my daughter couldn't eat it more than 2 tsps. 

It was really very tasty and with tortilla it was amazing.
