This homemade salsa recipe will be packed with three types of peppers for that triple spicy kick you’re craving. Let’s dive into making your new favorite salsa with a punch!
Triple Pepper Salsa
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1 serrano pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1 habanero pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped (use with caution, very spicy)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peppers: Wear gloves to avoid irritation from the capsaicin in the peppers. Finely chop the jalapeño, serrano, and habanero peppers. Remember, the heat lies in the seeds and membranes, so adjust according to your heat preference.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, all three peppers, and minced garlic.
- Add Flavor: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Add the chopped cilantro. If using, sprinkle in the cumin powder and smoked paprika for extra depth of flavor.
- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Chill: Let the salsa sit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve: Enjoy your Triple Pepper Salsa with tortilla chips, over grilled meats, or as a spicy addition to tacos and burritos.
Tips:
- Heat Level Adjustment: The jalapeño offers mild heat, serrano brings a medium kick, and habanero adds a serious burn. Adjust the amounts based on your heat preference.
- Flavor Development: Salsa tastes better as it sits, so consider making it a day ahead.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
