Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Alternatively, you can grind down the solid ingredients and spices in a mortar and pestle, then slowly add in the liquid ingredients as you mix. Mix until a paste forms to your preferred consistency.
  3. Taste and adjust to your personal tastes. Need more salt? More lime juice? A pinch of sugar? Adjust as needed.
  4. Strain out excess liquid, if desired, or use as-is.

Notes

  • Makes 1.5-2 cups.
  • Heat Factor: Mild-Medium, but it is HUGE on flavor. You can easily bring up the heat level by using spicier peppers or by adding spicy chili powder or flakes.
