Ingredients

• 6 whole Habanero peppers
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 small White onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by prepping the vegetables. Remove the stems from the habanero peppers and dice the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro.

Step 2

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the whole habanero peppers and garlic cloves. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they are slightly charred on the outside. Use caution as the peppers can release spicy fumes.

Step 3

3. Add the diced tomatoes and a quarter cup of water to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

Step 4

4. Transfer the sautéed mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the diced onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

Step 5

5. Blend the ingredients until smooth. For a chunkier texture, use the pulse setting to control the consistency.

Step 6

6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Allow the salsa to cool before serving, as the flavors will meld and become more pronounced.

Step 7

7. Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or any dish that needs a kick of heat.
