Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 15 fresh mint leaves
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 Jalapeno pepper seeded
- 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated cotija cheese (or Parmesan)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons aji amarillo paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Break the bottom half of the stems off the cilantro and discard. Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.
- Lock the lid into place and puree until the mixture is very smooth. Taste, then add additional salt if needed.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Use within one week.
Notes
- Aji Amarillo Paste is an optional ingredient, but it does make the sauce taste more authentic. It is a simple puree of Peruvian yellow chile peppers. You can find Aji Amarillo online, and at most international markets.
