Habanera Chilis Estilo Esteban

How to enjoy habanera chilis without burning alive and with no long term effects.

1. Toast a few habanera chilis on an open burner flame or on a comal.

4. Add lemon juice, olive oil and salt.

Use sparingly and to taste on your tacos or anything else within two to three hours.

Hot, sweet and wonderful.
