What you do:

  1. Saute the onion, garlic, and peppers in oil in a heavy pan over medium-high heat until the skin of the peppers begins to blister. Reduce heat and stir in the tomato sauce, cumin, and chili powder. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Cool until just warm and place in a blender with the lime juice. Pulse and then blend briefly to chop the contents finely. Pour the contents of the blender into a heatproof bowl and chill. When ready to serve, stir the watermelon with its juice into the tomato-pepper mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with chips or over veggies or meats from the grill.
