Description: Habaneros are one of the hottest peppers there are. My forehead is sweating just thinking about this salsa. If you like hot then this will be nirvana for you. For those of us who aren’t extremists, simply put fewer habaneros in there. Bon appetit.
Ingredients

- 10 whole tomatillos, husked and rinsed
