Yucatecan Salsa

Chef Sean #2's Note:

This salsa from the Yucatecan is wonderful on fish tacos. As with all recipes I've entered that call for Habanero peppers, you can substitute with any other type of Capsicum, although the flavor might be changed a bit, it should still be good. This one is from "The Pepper Pantry: Habanero" by Dave DeWitt and Nancy Gerlach.
