Salsa Roja

EverydayCooked

Salsa Roja is a cooked Mexican sauce made from tomatoes, chili peppers, onions, and garlic, typically simmered or roasted to develop its characteristic smoky flavor. This versatile condiment ranges from mild to intensely spicy depending on chili varieties used, while providing antioxidants like lycopene from tomatoes and metabolism-boosting capsaicin. The cooked preparation enhances flavor complexity while maintaining low calorie and fat content, making it suitable for vegan, gluten-free, and weight-conscious diets.
