Llajua or LLajwa (A Spicy Bolivian Salsa)

Bolivian salsa called Llajua or llaajwa is a quick to make spicy salsa that would normally be made with two ingredients that I could not find locally. The first is a pepper called Locoto, this is a pretty spicy chile that has black seeds and the other ingredient is called Quillquiña, this is a green that is somewhat similar to cilantro but has a unique taste and bitterness. I substituted jalapenos for the locoto chile and cilantro for the Quillquiña. The result was a lovely spicy salsa that is always found on Bolivian tables.
