Trader Joe's Extra Hot Habanero Ghost Pepper Salsa

A hyperbole is a figure of speech where exaggeration is used for dramatic effect, like "I ate a million chips today" or "this work day will never end." When we call our new Extra Hot Habanero Ghost Pepper Salsa extra hot, though, we mean it. In this case, there is no hyperbole or exaggeration. It is hot-and also delicious.

Ghost chili peppers are some of the spiciest chilies around. Naturally, we turned to these to heat up our spiciest salsa to date-but a little bit goes a long way. The small-but-mighty amount of smoked ghost pepper powder we use is combined with vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh onion, cilantro, habanero peppers, and roasted red bell and poblano peppers. The result? A spicy Salsa that's full of flavor and has that perfect Mexican restaurant-style consistency: not too chunky, and perfectly scoopable.

Enjoying the spiciness of this Salsa is as easy as scooping it up with some Trader Joes's Tortilla Chips. Of course, there are about a million other uses (now that's hyperbole). Serve it with Queso Dip if you want to mellow out that heat a little bit. Or, spoon some on your morning eggs, or quesadillas, or tacos...
