Instructions
Instructions
- Put everything except the sour cream in a jug. Blitz with a stick blender until completely smooth, then stir in the sour cream. Taste and add more salt or lime juice if needed.
Notes
Pickled jalapeños provide tang as well as heat, while fresh jalapeños bring a greener pepper flavor.
Optional variation: use all sour cream instead of mayonnaise for a lighter, tangier sauce.
