Reviews
Made this on a very hot day and the taste was awesome. Will make this again and again.
After my modifications, it was really tasty. I doubled everything else but the chiles (and watermelon). It was WAY too spicy with double the watermelon, so I ended up nearly quadrulpling it. The flavor was nice, but I did miss the punch of lime juice. Next time I will use only 1 seeded chile, less onion and add lime. Thanks!
