Chile de Arbol is a type of dried red chili pepper that is known for its intense heat and bold, smoky flavor. The extra-hot variety of Chile de Arbol packs an even bigger punch, making it a favorite among chiliheads and those who enjoy very spicy food. This salsa is made by blending dried chile de Arbol peppers with other seasonings to create a thick, concentrated sauce. It's often used as a condiment or as an ingredient in marinades, soups, and stews. Its high heat level makes it ideal for those who love spicy food and can handle a lot of heat. It's definitely not for the faint of heart and should be used sparingly.
