- Combine the chilies, tomato, onion, cilantro, 3 Tbsp. sour orange juice, and salt in a serving bowl. Toss to mix. Correct the seasoning, adding more sour orange juice if necessary. The salsa tastes best served within 3 hrs of making.
- Makes about 1 c.; sufficient to serve 4 to 6.
- Note: You can blunt the salsa bite a little by seeding the chilies. Of course, you'll lose a great measure of authenticity.
- The world's most colorfully named salsa-xni pec (pronounced "shnee pek")
- is also one of the world's hottest. Xni is the Mayan word for "dog", pec for "nose". Just why it's thus named is a matter of debate. The most likely explanation is which the chilies make your nose run, an effect I can readily attest to. And a dog's nose is always wet. I've given a range of chilies-a person from the Yucatan would use the full eight. There is more to this fighter than heat alone. The onion, tomato, cilantro, and sour orange create a complex play of flavors.
