Notes
Spicy Level Variations:
Mild: remove all the seeds from the jalapeño and habanero peppers. Remove seeds with caution by using gloves or with a spoon. You do not want to touch your face after removing the seeds and membranes with your hands. The oils from the peppers will irritate your skin and you will feel a burning sensation. So, if possible use gloves, wash your hands really well and do not touch your face. Medium hot –leave some of the seeds from the jalapeños and/or habaneros Spicy- keep all the seeds in If the salsas is too spicy for your taste buds then add another tomato to mellow down the spicy level
