The ripe tomatoes offer sweetness, the cilantro adds freshness, and the jalapeños & habanero provide just the right amount of heat. The lime juice gives it a tangy kick, while the garlic and cumin bring out savory depth. It’s the kind of salsa that gets better the longer it sits (if you can resist eating it all right away!).
