THE MEXICAN MOLCAJETE
The word molcajete (mortar) derives from Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs: ìmolliî (seasoning or sauce) and ìcaxitlî (bowl). The word tejolote (pestle) also derives from Nahuatl: ìtetlî (stone) and ìxolotlî (doll)."Foods traditionally prepared in the molcajete include salsas and mole's (mohl-LAY), as well as guacamole. It is also used for grinding chilies, garlic or other herbs and spices for food preparation.
Quick Guide: How to Cure Your Molcajete
-
Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
-
Grind garlic into a paste, spread inside the molcajete, and let sit overnight.
-
Rinse well the next day.
Extra Curing (if shedding continues):
-
Baking Method: Spread a paste of onion, garlic & oil, bake at 300°F for 30 min, wash.
-
Boiling Method: Boil with water, coarse salt & vinegar until evaporated, then grind uncooked rice until clean.
Final Step: Grind coarse sea salt and corn until debris-free. Rinse — ready for salsa & guacamole!
Let customers speak for us
I ordered 5 jars of the Salsa, as we love this on our Tacos. The product is great, but the outdate on the jars was just shy of 6 months out. I think, that when someone orders this many jars, that whomever prepares the order for shipping should check the outdates and pick jars with longer outdates.
I warmed the tortillas in the microwave before assembling my enchiladas. The tortillas rolled up nicely without cracking, which was what I was looking for in a tortilla. Very pleased. My only issue is that there was a delay in the tortillas arriving (4 days), an issue with UPS, not the store.
We had this candy when we visited Mexico and love it! We are excited to find it at your store. It tastes just like the one we had in Mexico!
The Molcajete is gorgeous, both the stone bowl and the pestle are carefully wrapped and secured in the package. We pre-treated by grinding rice before making guacamole, the guacamole is delicious.
This taco sauce is the best there is. It has a very strong tomato flavor and not vinegar tasting like most other sauces. I have not found any other sauce as good. It is especially important that it doesn't have any MSG in the ingredients. You will never try another once you've tried La Victoria.
Haven't used it yet, but it is exactly what I wanted!
I'm so Greatfull that I found your website
My mom and I had been using this chili powder for years, we had found when seasoning Mexicandishes to get that right flover,, Tampico seasonings are the best
I use cumin, California chili powder, garlic salt, & powder
Thank you so much .
Very easy to order online. Product was available to full fill my order in a timely manner.
It's good and as close in flavor as I remember from my youth.
Cannot duplicate this flavor and thank God for Mexgrocer! No one else carries it!
