Spicy habanero salsa is perfect for heat-seeking salsa lovers. This easy restaurant-style salsa is perfect with tortilla chips or on top of your favorite Mexican dishes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound tomatoes (Roughly eight Roma tomatoes or four medium-sized tomatoes.)
  • 0.5 white onion
  • 1 -2 habanero peppers
  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 0.25 cup cilantro
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 0.25 teaspoon cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • lime (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Safety First: Wear gloves when handling habanero peppers. These guys are high on the heat scale, and a little on your hands can easily cause burning, especially if you touch your eyes.

  2. 2

    Chop Ingredients: Cut the tomatoes in half. Remove the seeds and watery interior. Coarsely chop the tomatoes, onion, habanero peppers, jalapeño peppers, and cilantro.

  3. 3

    Blend: Place all ingredients in the food processor and pulse to the desired consistancy.

  4. 4

    Remove Excess Water: This recipe is inherently watery, and for best results, you will want to remove the excess water and strain using a fine mesh or cheesecloth.

  5. 5

    Serve: with lime wedges on the side. Guests can squeeze extra lime juice for added zest.
