Nothing finishes a good Mexican recipe like a really great salsa. While cooked and fresh salsas are wonderful, it's hard to beat the simplicity and impact of k'uut bi ik - a Yucatecan salsa made from dried chilies and Seville orange juice. This variation incorporates garlic and smoky morita chipotle to give it a deeper and more rounded-out flavour.

If you are able to find Seville oranges you might find that the vinegar is either unnecessary or too strong. Taste the juice and see if you think it's acidic/bitter enough, and consider adding a little less vinegar or a milder vinegar like white wine vinegar. You may want to add a little extra water to make up for the reduced volume of liquid.
