New this year, the resort is offering access to the on-site chili garden where guests can hand pick habanero, chipotle, or serrano chiles and even the majestically vibrant guajillo Pedregal farm pepper to be used in meal preparation, cocktails or cooking classes.

This sounds so yummy! I love a good salsa recipe and we were given some peppers just this week that I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with…thanks for the recipe!!
Although I am not a lover of hot peppers I find it very interesting that the Capella Pedregal resort now allows the guests to handpick the peppers they want to have used in their dishes.
I like it hot so I’d love this!
thanks for the recipe
I love fresh salsa!! This recipe sounds delicious! Adding this to my grocery list today!!
Three different chile peppers make this special and I’d love to try it with lots of water on hand. Salsa is always a favorite of mine.
I just got some Habanero on sale and might have to try this. I think roasting the peppers I just might be able to handle the heat as usually I normally avoid it. This sounds pretty good though.
I like that the veggies are roasted before putting in the salsa. Good flavors.
Yum, I cannot wait to give this a try, the peppers in the photo look great. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This recipe sounds amazing and healthy I love the variety and this is one I have never heard of before thanks for sharing and hope you have a very Happy Halloween.
You are speaking to me!!! Love the use of the different hot peppers. My daughter and I love salsa and this is a great combination for heat and flavor. Hope to try soon.
