Kehalis Kicking Hot Salsa Recipes

CAUTION: EXTREMELY HOT! SALSA

Steps:

• Put peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro and cumin in a food processor, and process until finely minced, but not a paste.
• Or, if you're mincing the peppers by hand-be SURE to wear rubber gloves, as the oil from the peppers is very irritating to skin and eyes.
• Add seasonings, vinegar, olive oil and water and mix well.
• Store in a glass container with a tight fitting lid (I use the larger size of baby food jars).
• Stores well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
• Serve on chips, eggs, grilled chicken, in burritos, on tacos, mixed into rice or beans, anything you can think of!
