Cilantro Jalapeño Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream divided
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves and stems, packed well
- 1 jalapeño pepper chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Using a blender or food processor, process 1/4 of the sour cream with the cilantro, jalapeño pepper, and lime juice until smooth. There will still be small pieces of cilantro seen.
- Pour the sour cream from the blender into a bowl, then add the other 1/4 cup of sour cream. Blend until well combined.
- Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Use immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week. Note, the sauce will get spicier as it ages.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with more cilantro and/or more jalapeño pepper to best fit your need/taste preference. Doubling each in the recipe will create a more flavor intensive sauce, more heat, and certainly a much greener sauce.
