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

8 servings

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

Steps

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.
