Picosito is a term in Mexican cooking that describes a dish or ingredient that has a mild to moderate level of spiciness, often from chili peppers. It conveys the idea of a pleasant, slightly spicy kick rather than an intense heat. The term is often used to describe flavors that bring warmth to the palate without overwhelming it.
