Creamy Jalapeño Sauce
A vibrant, zippy, and incredibly smooth green sauce that balances the heat of jalapeños with the richness of avocado and a bright, tangy lime finish. Inspired by classic taqueria-style condiments, it is perfect for drizzling over tacos, dipping chips, or upgrading any Mexican-inspired meal.

Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the jalapeños by removing the stems. Cut them in half and remove the seeds and white membranes if you prefer a milder sauce.
Peel and pit the avocado, scooping the flesh into a food processor or high-speed blender.
Add the prepared jalapeños, garlic clove, and fresh cilantro leaves to the blender.
Pour in the mayonnaise, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh lime juice.
Add the salt to the mixture.
Pulse or blend on medium-high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and vibrant green.
If the sauce is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time, blending in between, until it reaches your preferred drizzling consistency.
Taste the sauce and add more salt or a squeeze of lime if needed to brighten the flavors.
Transfer to a bowl or squeeze bottle and serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an authentic taqueria-style 'creamy' effect without avocado, some traditional recipes boil the jalapeños with onions and garlic before blending with oil; however, the avocado method provides a healthier, luscious texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If the sauce begins to oxidize (turn slightly brown), place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sauce before closing the container.
