Notes

Tips:

  • If you want to adjust your spiciness or the hotness of the dish, leave some of the seeds from the peppers in, it will add some spiciness to the salsa.
  • You can easily swap out the poblano peppers for jalapeno peppers.
  • If you do not have to add lime juice, you can substitute it for water.
  • Shake your basket several times during the cooking process.
  • You can make this in an Air Freyr Basket or Air Fryer Oven Model. YOu can also make this recipe in a Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and Mealthy Lid. The recipe will work the same.
How To Blend The Salsa:
You can either use a blender or food processor to dice this salsa. Here are some tips:
Blender/Food Processor: You can make this salsa in a blender or food processor. Just pulse for a few seconds until desired consistency is reached!
Pulse at 30-second intervals and mix after each pulse to get a perfect consistency. Stop pulsing when it's the consistency you desire.
Thicker Salsa: If you want thicker salsa, reduce the amount of lime juice and water that you use.
