Some chilli experts reckon chiltepins are the original chilli. These tiny spherical chillies still grow wild. They used to rely on birds for germination. Birds would eat the chillies, shit out the seeds and somewhere in the travels through the avarian digestive system, the seeds were converted into a state of fertility so that when they landed on soil, they took root. of course, if they landed on a head, a car or a house, nothing happened. This sauce is made using these pea-sized chillies, big sweet tomatoes from the markets, garlic and lard - indispensable in Mexican cooking.
