picante sauce
Hot tomato dip
Picante sauce is a Mexican-style condiment made from tomatoes, chili peppers, onions, and spices—essentially a chunky, spiced tomato sauce with heat.
The term became widely known in the United States through commercial brands, particularly in Tex-Mex cuisine.
It overlaps considerably with salsa, though picante sauce is often smoother.
