Dave --

While visiting the Yucatan last fall, I found the most prevalent version of
Xnipec to be green habaneros mixed with minced red onions, sour orange (or
lime) juice, and salt (similar to your first recipe, but no tomato).  I
would almost consider it "hot pickled onions" rather than a salsa.  Also,
Rick Bayless presents a recipe containing minced tomatoes, onions,
habaneros, cilantro, lime juice, salt and....minced radishes.  I've tried it
(actually, I make it often) and it is fantastic.

I like the recipes on your web site -- I will have to try the one with
roasted habanero.  Rick Bayless presents another similar salsa recipe,
containing roasted garlic, roasted habanero, lime juice, and sea salt ground
to a paste in a molecajete -- also very tasty.

Thanks for the info.

Matt
