1
Prepare the Habaneros
Wearing gloves, carefully remove the stems from the habanero peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat.
2
Chop the Tomatoes
Rinse the tomatoes, then dice them into small pieces and set aside.
3
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

4
Sauté the Vegetables
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Habaneros and Tomatoes
Add the prepared habaneros and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.
6
Season the Mixture
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then stir in the lime juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
7
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preference.
