INGREDIENTS
1 Habanero Pepper
1 Medium Sized White Onion
Juice of One Lime
½ TSP Dried Mexican Oregano

INSTRUCTIONS
⚠️ Glove up, amigos! Habaneros bring the fire, and we’re not talking mild salsa vibes. Protect those hands.
Here’s how to bring the heat…
🌶️ Prep the Pepper: Remove stem + seeds, then slice it thin like taco toppings.
🧅 Onion Time: Slice onions paper-thin (mandolin = your BFF here).
🍋 Lime Love: Toss onions + peppers together, squeeze fresh lime juice on top—instant flavor fireworks.
🌿 Herb Magic: Crush dried Mexican oregano between your palms as you sprinkle—it wakes up all the flavor.
🧂 Salt Bae Moment: Hit it with a generous pinch of kosher salt.
🔥 Boom. You’ve got a bold, tangy, spicy relish ready to crown tacos, tostadas, or anything begging for a flavor upgrade.
