Unlike the usual table salsa, salsa de morita is more like a paste to be used as a spread for cemitas and other sandwiches. The combination of dark, medium-heat chiles and piloncillo gives this salsa a flavor reminiscent of a spicy-sweet barbecue sauce.

I wasn't a fan of this salsa. I found it to be too smoky and spicy.

This salsa is a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I just added a little sour cream to cool it down.

This salsa is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes in my fridge, and this is a delicious way to use them up.
