Servings: 8
Calories: 56kcal
Equipment
- baking sheet
- High Speed Blender
Ingredients
- 2 Fresh Jalapeños or more for spicier sauce
- ½ cup White Onion
- ½ cup Avocado
- 2-3 Garlic Cloves
- 2 Limes juiced
- 2 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro optional
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Drizzle the jalapenos, onion, and peeled cloves of garlic with olive oil and spread out on a sheet pan. Place the sheet pan in the oven and cook at 400F for 15 minutes.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Read the note at the bottom regarding the level of heat for your sauce. Remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapenos for a milder taco sauce.
- After the veggies have cooled off, transfer them to a blender with the avocado, lime juice, fresh cilantro, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend on high until the taco sauce has a creamy texture.
- Check for seasoning and add more salt if needed.
Notes
To manage the level of heat in your taco sauce, start with 1 or 2 jalapenos with the seeds and ribs removed. After you combine the ingredients and blend the sauce, taste it to check for seasoning and heat. If you want more heat at this point, add another jalapeño or include the ribs and seeds that had been removed after roasting.
