Ingredients

  • 3 Scallion Stalks (cut into thirds)
  • 1 Jalapeño
  • 1 Shallot (roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup Crema
  • 1/2 cup Mayo
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro Leaves
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 3 Tbsp Water

Instructions

  • Heat a cast iron pan over high heat. Add the scallions and whole jalapeño to the pan. Cook the scallions for about 2 minutes on each side until charred then remove them from the pan. Cook the jalapeño on all sides for 2-3 minutes until most of the outside has been charred. Remove it from the pan.
  • Roughly chop the jalapeño. You can remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you want the sauce to be less spicy. If you want the sauce a little spicier you can add in some of the pith and seeds.
  • Add everything to a blender. Blend until smooth and it turns a pale green color. Add another tablespoon of water to adjust the consistency if desired. Enjoy!
