This variation of salsa macha from Tia Lupita combines traditional chile oil with dried cranberries alongside chiles and pepitas for a distinctive sweet-heat flavor profile. The inclusion of cranberries creates more pronounced fruity notes and balanced sweetness than other versions, while maintaining authentic Mexican character. Drizzle over seafood tacos where the fruit notes complement delicate proteins, add to breakfast dishes like chilaquiles for a sophisticated morning option, or use as a finishing touch for roasted vegetables where the complex chile flavor and contrasting textures elevate simple ingredients to memorable status.
