Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or other grinder. A Molcajete is a great option here.
  2. Grind until a coarse paste forms. You can strain out some of the excess liquid if you'd like.
  3. Add to a jar and cover. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

  • NOTE: You can also simmer this sauce over low heat about 10 minutes before jarring to mellow the flavors, but raw, uncooked is traditional.
  • Heat Factor: Medium-Hot
  • Makes about 1.5 cups.
