Dragon's Breath Salsa Recipe

TJ's Dragon's Breath Salsa

8 Habanero chilis
7 Jalapenos
3 roasted Serrano chili's
1 large dried Ancho chili
1 Bell pepper
1 clove garlic
6 fresh medium tomatoes
1 can "hot" Rotel tomatoes
1 #1015 or Vidalia onion
1 large lime
1 or 2 bunches of cilantro
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cumin

Dice the peppers, garlic, onion and tomatoes. Remove seeds from chili's if you want to tone it down a little. Combine and set aside. Pour the Rotel tomatoes into food processor. Remove stems from cilantro and add to Food processor along with salt and cumin. Zest the lime about 4 times and cut in half and squeeze juice from both halves into food processor. Pulse the food processor about 8 times. Then add the bowl of chilis, garlic, onion and tomatoes. Pulse until it is your desired consistency. Add more salt to your taste using tortilla chips so you actually don't get the salsa too salty.

This recipe makes a large food processor full of salsa. If your family eats a lot of salsa, just pour in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. You can also heat it on the stove before serving. (my preference) If you choose to can the salsa, this makes about 6 pint jars with some fresh left over to eat right now! hehehe

My original recipe called for 30 habaneros but it was just too hot for anyone in my family. Linda and Larry...be aware, this is still pretty hot for most people.
