How do you feel about habaneros? Really, spicy food in general? If you’re reading this blog, I’m assuming you have a bit of a tolerance and might even possibly enjoy a little belly warming heat every so often. Fiery habanero salsa is the way to go.
On a scale of 1 to burn your face off this salsa is around a nose hair singe—it be spicy. Suffice it to say, if you are sensitive, this may not be a recipe for you but I do think no human should go thorough life and most especially a bitterly cold winter without something POW!! Knock your socks off, I mean let’s live a little.

I’ve been hearing rumors that there is a sporting event coming up. Something about a Souper Bowl or is it Super Bowl? Either way it sounds like a speed eating contest for the infirm. I’m not going to try to pretend I know anything about it, but if you plan on watching and gathering with friends, this Fiery Habanero Salsa might be just the way to spice up the partaaay!


Habanero-Tomatillo Salsa
If you like spicy, this salsa is for you. This habanero salsa is not for wimps made with charred habanero chiles, onions, and tomatillos it will warm you from the inside out.
Ingredients

- ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems
Instructions
- Heat broiler to high. Place chiles, onion, garlic, and tomatillos on the baking sheet.

Besides chips, here are some other things this salsa is good on:

Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually
code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no
coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey There! You can easily start a blog with no coding experience. There are lots of servers out there that do all the work for you. Best of luck!
I found this recipe spicy but entirely too sweet.
Oh no! Thanks for the heads up Katie. I’ll check into that.
