For a spicier salsa, leave some of the seeds in the Hatch chiles.
If you don't have Hatch chiles, you can substitute with Anaheim peppers or Poblano peppers.
Roasting the onion along with the chiles adds another layer of smoky flavor.

    I used Poblano peppers since I couldn't find Hatch chiles and it was still delicious.

    So easy to make and so much better than store-bought salsa!

    I added a squeeze of lime juice at the end and it really brightened up the flavors.
