Description
This Aji Verde is the most addicting spicy green sauce! It is SO good on tacos, bowls, salads, grilled meats and veggies, and my personal favorite – scrambled eggs and hash browns.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 3 ounces (a little chunk) queso fresco
- 1 jalapeño pepper (for a mild sauce, remove the ribs and seeds – you can also use a serrano pepper)
- 1 cup cilantro
- 2 cloves of garlic
- juice of 1 lime
- a pinch of salt, to taste
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth-ish. I like to go until it smoothly drips off a spoon – no more chunks but just a little bit of texture to it.
- You’re done! Serve with grilled meats and veggies, tacos, salads, bowls, or just dip into it with some chips. It’s incredible.
