  • 2 Jalapenos, (cut in half, seeds removed)
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, (cut in half, seeds removed)
  • 1 Red Onion, (cut in half)
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

  • 2 Limes, (juiced, or about 1/4 cup lime juice)
  • 1.4 cup Cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tdp Kosher Salt

Instructions 

  • Set your oven to broil.

Notes

Expert Tips
  • Wear gloves when cutting up the peppers! Kitchen gloves are mandatory for this recipe. The capsaicin in the peppers can irritate your skin so be sure to protect your hands when prepping the ingredients. 
  • TASTE AS YOU GO! This is a spicy salsa so be sure to adjust to your personal preference. 
  • Adjust based on your spice level! If you prefer a milder salsa, only use one habanero. However, for a spicier salsa, use an additional pepper for extra heat! This is a homemade salsa recipe so make it according to your taste buds!
  • Add a pinch of sugar for a little sweetness! If your mangos aren't as sweet as you'd like, add a pinch of sugar.
  • Fresh ingredients are key!  
Variations 
  • Chunky Mango Habanero Salsa - for a chunkier salsa, pulse the food processor until you've reached the desired consistency. 
  • Add Pineapples! Make a Mango Pineapple Salsa by adding 1/4 cup of pineapple juice and about 1 cup of diced pineapples!
