Ingredients

  • 4 jalapeno peppers stems removed and sliced
  • 1/4 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, toss the jalapenos with garlic, onion, garlic, olive oil, lime juice and salt. Mix well. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Transfer to a medium bowl and use an immersion blender to create a smooth mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Add fresh flavor to this creamy jalapeno sauce by adding fresh cilantro.
  • If you don't own an immersion blender, a regular blender or food processor will work.
  • For an extra creamy texture, add a little sour cream before blending.
  • Looking to kick up the heat even more? Add black pepper, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, hot sauce, extra fresh jalapenos or a little bit of chili powder.
