Description

This quick and easy Avocado Hot Sauce is a creamy yet spicy condiment made from fresh, wholesome ingredients. Perfect for adding a flavorful kick to tacos, burritos, grilled chicken, eggs, or as a dip for chips and veggies, this sauce combines ripe avocados with jalapeño peppers, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice for a balanced, vibrant taste.

Ingredients

Avocado Hot Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, chopped (about ½ cup or more)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh. Seed and chop the jalapeño peppers (adjust the amount depending on your preferred spice level). Mince the garlic cloves and rinse and dry the cilantro leaves thoroughly.
  2. Combine ingredients in blender: Add the avocado flesh, chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, cilantro leaves, lime juice, salt, pepper, and water into a blender or food processor.
  3. Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy texture. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water to adjust the consistency to your liking.
  4. Adjust seasoning and heat: Taste the sauce and add additional salt, pepper, or more jalapeño to increase the heat level as desired. Blend again briefly to incorporate any adjustments.
  5. Store the sauce: Transfer the avocado hot sauce to a clean jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
  6. Serve: Before serving, stir the sauce well to reincorporate any separated ingredients. Use it as a topping for tacos, burritos, grilled chicken, eggs, or as a flavorful dip for chips and vegetables.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers according to your preferred spice level.
  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Store the sauce in an airtight container to prevent oxidation and browning.
  • If you want to keep the sauce vibrant green, add a little lemon or lime juice before storing.
  • This sauce can be thinned further with water or lime juice if needed for dipping purposes.
