NOTES : This recipe came from Rick Bayless (Authentic Mexican, Regional cooking from the heart of Mexico). Its the same that I've gotten from friends in Mexico. You see this sauce in the stands in markets in Mexico. Use it like Tabasco (much better though!). Nothing fancy just plain and simple, my kind of sauce!
