Wash and dry all the produce.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Carefully remove the stems from the habanero peppers, slice them in half, and remove the seeds if you want to lower the heat level. Finely mince the habanero peppers and add them to the bowl. Note: Wear gloves to avoid irritation when handling habanero peppers.
Chop the cilantro leaves finely and add them to the mixture. Discard the stems if they are too tough.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and stir them into the bowl.
Juice the lime and pour the fresh lime juice into the mixture.
Season the pico de gallo with salt and black pepper, adjusting quantities to taste.
Stir everything thoroughly to combine the flavors.
Let the pico de gallo sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld together.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside grilled meats.
