Equipment

1 small pot
1 strainer
1 food processor
1 Air-tight glass container

Ingredients

2-3 jalapeño peppers
1 serrano pepper
2 roma tomatoes
½ white onion
2-3 garlic cloves
½ cup cilantro
½ lime juiced
⅓ cup water
1 teaspoon salt more or less to taste
¼ tsp pepper more or less to taste

Instructions

Bring pot of water to boil, add whole jalapeños, serrano and tomatoes. Cook on low boil for 9-11 minutes depending on their size.
Carefully strain the jalapeños, serrano and tomatoes. Let cool for a few minutes. Remove skin and core of tomatoes. Cut stems of peppers. Remove inside membranes of most peppers. I usually keep all seeds on 1 pepper and half seeds of the serrano for a perfect kick. If you prefer a really hot salsa, keep more seeds.
Place all ingredients in food processor: onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, pepper, water, jalapeños, serrano and tomatoes and pulse until everything is chopped. Keep a little chunky or to your preference.
Place salsa in air-tight glass container and place in fridge for 1 hour until completely cooled. Enjoy!
