Ingredients for jalapeño avocado sauce
Avocado. Fresh, ripe avocados are best for the recipe. Perfectly ripe avocados are the best for their smooth and silky consistency. You may test them by pressing them to see if they're soft—they are plentiful in this recipe.
Fresh cilantro. This brings out the refreshing flavors that bind well with avocado and jalapeño(much like this jalapeño cilantro sauce). Parsley is also an excellent substitute.
Lime juice. Fresh lime juice enhances the flavors and adds sharp sourness. Lemon juice is also a suitable substitution.
Jalapeño. It provides a rich color and is responsible for the overall warmth of this avocado jalapeno cilantro sauce. Fresh jalapeño brings out the bright flavors and adds a subtle heat with vibrant flavors.
However, you may also swap with the roasted jalapeños or frozen jalapeños also works well.

However, if you plan to store this sauce for a long time, refrigerate or freeze it immediately by securing it in an airtight container.
Frequently asked questions
You can use this spicy sauce with any Mexican dish as a dip or side dish. You may also use it as a topping layer in a taco, sandwich, or burger.
This sauce is mildly spiced, as we removed the core and seeds of the jalapeno while making it.
Since we have removed the entire white membrane and the seeds, this avocado sauce is low in heat. However, if you prefer the sauce to flaming hot, add the jalapeño (along with the seeds and the pith).
We made this sauce only with the flesh of the jalapeño. Hence, it will be mildly hot. If you prefer bringing down the heat further, swap half of the jalapeños quantity with the green pepper.
This way, the peppery flavor is retained with the minimal heat in jalapeno avocado sauce. You may also adjust the combination of the jalapeño and the green pepper to suit your heat tolerance.
