‘𝙋𝙞𝙘𝙤 𝙙𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤’ can be translated as “rooster beak”🐓
The origin of that name is uncertain🤷♂️, some say it is because everything is cut into small squares as if it were bitten by a rooster.
Or because it “stings” like the rooster.
Or simply, because the vegetables in this salsa … they are chopped!
This ‘salsa’ is very popular in the gastronomy of Mexico❣️
The most common variety of this salad is a mixture of tomato🍅, onion🧅 and chopped jalapeno peppers, whose colours correspond to the colours of the flag of Mexico🇲🇽
It is a common salsa for tacos and quesadillas 😋
