Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a small blender bowl or food processor bowl.
  • Blend or process until smooth. It should be nice and thick but if you prefer a more flowing consistency, you can simply add a little milk or water to thin it.
  • Done! Enjoy!

Notes

Sour cream can be substituted with crème fraiche or Greek yogurt, but reduce the lime juice by a tablespoon if you use Greek yogurt.
The oil can be substituted with mayonnaise.
3 peppers yield a medium-spicy sauce, and 4 is hot.
