Ingredients for jalapeño avocado sauce

Avocado. Fresh, ripe avocados are best suited for the recipe. For the smooth and silky consistency of perfectly ripe avocado is the best. You may test them by pressing them if it's 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 ingredient to substitute with.

Lime juice. Fresh lime juice enhances the flavors and adds sharp sourness. Lemon juice is also a suitable substitution.

Jalapeño. 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.

Avocado's color changes within a couple of hours after cutting. Not only avocado but any fruit starts the decaying process quickly.

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

How to use this avocado hot sauce?

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.

Is this creamy jalapeno sauce spicy?

This sauce is mildly spiced as we have removed the core and the seeds of jalapeno while making the sauce.

How to increase the heat?

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).

How to minimize the heat?

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.
