Ingredients

  • Avocado: Choose ripe avocados by gently pressing them; they should feel soft but not mushy. Ripe avocados are perfect for adding creamy texture and flavor to this recipe.
  • Fresh cilantro: This brings out the refreshing flavors that bind well with avocado and jalapeño(much like this jalapeño cilantro sauce).
  • 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.

How To Make Jalapeño Avocado Sauce?

  • Add all the ingredients to a food processor or a blender jar. 
  • Blend them until the mixture turns to a smoother consistency. 
  • And immediately use it as a taco dip or a topping.

How to Use

  • As a dip, this simple, feel-good dip makes chips, fresh-cut vegetables, or tortillas taste delicious. It's great for spicing up game day or family gatherings.
  • Breakfast. Make a satisfying breakfast sandwich. Enjoy jalapeno avocado sauce with a scoop over the breakfast casserole, quiche, or savory pancake. 
  • Try this sauce with a simple garden fresh salad or Mexican salad as a dressing
  • As a topping. Try slathering over a burger, sandwich, or taco.

♨️How To Adjust The Heat

This jalapeño avocado sauce has a noticeable heat due to the jalapeño peppers in this recipe.

The good news is that you can control this dish's heat from mild to slightly hotter with simple tweaks.

Firstly, remove all the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños for a milder version(No worries, you can add them later if you want). Secondly, you can adjust the amount of jalapeno to match your preferred heat profile.

Storage & Leftovers

This jalapeno avocado sauce is best served as soon as it is made, as the avocado in this recipe tends to change color within an hour.

I highly recommend making this sauce in small portions, just enough for your meal.

Are you missing your meal prep plans? No worries. This recipe is very simple, and you can always whip up a fresh batch when needed.

FAQ

Can you make this sauce vegan?

Yes, you can. Swap the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt like cashew or coconut milk yogurt.

Can I substitute jalapeños with other peppers?

Absolutely! For a milder option, use peppers like Anaheim, or for more heat, try serrano or habanero. Feel free to experiment with your favorite peppers.
