Add the habaneros, onion, garlic, and oil to a small pot or saucepan.

Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the peppers and onion have softened enough to pierce easily with a fork.

Let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer everything to a food processor. Add the salt.

Process on high for 4-5 minutes, until the sauce becomes very smooth, lighter in color, and starts to cling to the sides of the processor bowl.

If the sauce seems too thick, drizzle in a little more oil while processing until smooth and creamy.

Want it thinner? Add water or fresh lime juice a tablespoon at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.

Adjust for salt and enjoy!
