1
Salsa verde cruda, splash of vinegar added at the end
the vinegar is what keeps it from browning and going flat by day 3, not just the lime
2
Salsa borracha (pasilla, tomato, dark beer)
3
Chiltepin salsa de molcajete
ground by hand, not blended. it holds texture through the whole week instead of separating
4
Salsa de chile morita
5
Salsa ranchera, cooked down till it's basically a sauce
cooking it through is what keeps it thick, a raw version goes watery fast
6
Salsa taquera, dried árbol toasted then simmered with vinegar
7
Salsa negra (pasilla, oil-based)
oil based so it never separates, just goes thicker. lasts the longest of anything here
8
Mango habanero salsa
(double it), this one disappears fastest of anything on the list
9
Salsa de chile piquín seco
a dry salsa, keeps for weeks even outside the fridge if you let it
10
Salsa de chile guajillo, blended into a paste
