Roasted Pepper Hot Salsa

Every Texan has their own salsa recipe. This one is my favorite. Note: Serrano peppers are super spicy little guys, so if you're not used to extra hot salsa, you might want to leave the serrano out.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

• 4  cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped and drained (canned ones work great)
• 1  cup yellow onion, chopped

• 1⁄4 cup  serrano pepper, chopped & seeded
• 1⁄4 cup  poblano pepper, chopped & seeded
