- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by carefully handling the habanero peppers. Wear gloves to avoid irritation and remove the stems, seeds, and membranes. Roughly chop the peppers.
Step 2
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small pieces and set aside in a medium-sized bowl.

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped habanero peppers and sauté for around 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Remove the habaneros from the heat and allow them to cool slightly before combining them with the tomato mixture.
Step 7
Add the lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the salsa. Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For extra heat, you may add more habanero or a pinch more salt.
Step 9
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld, but it can also be served immediately if desired.
