Yucatecan Sauce (Xnipec)

The tropical freshness that enhances the flavor of southern Mexico

A gem of Yucatecan cuisine. It’s not a blended sauce, but rather a handcrafted pickle made from thin slices of red onion and habanero peppers (yellow and orange), marinated in a citrus trio of apple cider vinegar, fresh lime juice, and a hint of orange. It’s a spicy explosion that elevates any dish—just as it does for Cochinita Pibil.
