Mexican Chili Sauces are typically very spicy, very hot and very flavorful. Many sauces are made with a tomato and chili base that may contain red or green tomatoes combined with a desired variety of chile pepper such as jalepeno chile peppers. In addition, many Chili Sauces may have tomatillos added or consist of tomatillos instead of tomatoes. As a way to identify various sauces it is common to refer to the type of chile in the sauce for the name of the sauce, such as Arbol Chili Sauce which refers to the use of arbol chiles as a key ingredient for making the sauce.
