Here in the State of Sonora, Mexico salsa made with chiltepin is very common. Traditionally it is made with fresh tomatoes but after tasting several salsas from taquerias I decided to try making it using El Pato tomato sauce. The first time I made this is was popular with the guys at work, the only complaint was it was to spicy. Chiltepin peppers are very spicy and this salsa is not for dipping chips in. Its good the first chip or two but after that your mouth will start to burn. But it is great on tacos or in burritos. I made this batch for a bacon wrapped burrito.
