This is a spicy variation of the salsa roja for our huevos rancheros (p. 89) which is mild, kid-friendly, and meant to bathe the dish in sauce. If you appreciate an extra kick for your tacos, use more pungent serrano or habanero peppers.

INGREDIENTS

3 Roma tomatoes, whole

½ medium white onion

2 serrano peppers or 1 habanero pepper, whole and seeds intact

2 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon salt

1 small lime, juiced
