This homemade Mango Habanero Salsa is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy, made from all fresh ingredients. Ripe mangoes and spicy habanero peppers are the perfect combination atop fish tacos or tortilla chips!
Cut tomatoes, peppers and onion in half, place on the baking sheet with the habanero and drizzle with olive oil.
2 beefsteak or vine-ripened tomatoes, 1 red bell pepper, 1 green bell pepper, 1 yellow onion, 1 habanero pepper
Place baking sheet in the oven and roast for 10 minutes. Remove the habanero and roast the remaining vegetables for another 5-10 minutes until slightly charred.
Allow the vegetables to cool to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes then add to a blender or food processor with the remaining ingredients.
1 mango, 1 teaspoon olive oil, ½ lime, 2 garlic cloves, ¼ cup cilantro, salt and black pepper
Pulse a few times until salsa has reached desired consistency, pulse less for chunky salsa and more for a smoother salsa.

Notes
Habanero peppers are very spicy. I recommend that you wear gloves when handling hot peppers and avoid touching your face. Wash your hands immediately after handling.
Your salsa, your heat preference. Adjust the level of heat to your liking. You can add a smaller amount for a milder salsa or large amount of habanero for a spicier salsa, depending on your tolerance to spice.
Blend to desired consistency. If you prefer a chunky salsa, pulse the ingredients for less time. For a smoother salsa, blend longer.
Mango Habanero Salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can also freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 4 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight!
