Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board
- Citrus juicer (optional)
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 3 medium jalapenos seeds removed and chopped
- 2 ripe avocados peeled and pitted
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- 2 green onions chopped
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In your blender or food processor, combine jalapenos, avocados, sour cream, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavor: Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Blend again until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Incorporate Herbs: Add cilantro and green onions to the mixture. Pulse the blender a few times to mix these in without completely pureeing them, maintaining a bit of texture.
- Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more lime juice or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and Season: Give your sauce a taste test. Adjust the salt or lime juice according to your preference.
Notes
- Balancing Heat: Remove seeds from jalapenos for a milder sauce or leave some in for extra heat.
- Creaminess: For a richer texture, add more avocado or a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
- Lime Juice: Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serving: Let the sauce chill for an hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
