🍅 What is it?
A cold, spicy salsa dip made from tomatoes and spices by Antica Cantina – a classic Tex-Mex dip designed to be enjoyed with tortilla crisps, nachos and other Mexican dishes. You can serve it straight from the tub or as an accompaniment to barbecued meat, tacos, burritos or quesadillas.
