Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil; 0.5 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

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

2 tablespoons olive oil
0.50 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

1
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.
2
You’re done! Serve with grilled meats and veggies, tacos, salads, bowls, or just dip into it with some chips. It’s incredible.
