my son made this and loved it, used all the peppers.....flames are still coming out of his mouth.

They say that one way to beat the heat is to eat food with lots of spice: will this certainly fits the bill!! And aside from the heat index being through the roof (I left the seeds in), it was flavourful, with a real nice tang from the lime juice. A great new salsa in my repertoire, thanks!
