Ingredients
Jalapeno Mayo Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise (good quality store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (or more mayonnaise as a substitute)
- 2 jalapeno peppers (deseeded and roughly diced)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1-2 teaspoons lime juice
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Jalapenos: Deseed and remove the ribs from the jalapenos, then roughly dice them. Retain the seeds if you desire extra heat for later adjustment.
- Blend Jalapenos: Place the diced jalapenos into a mini food processor and blend until very finely chopped. If a food processor is unavailable, mince the jalapenos finely with a knife and chopping board.
- Combine Ingredients: Add lime juice, mayonnaise, sour cream, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt to the blended jalapenos in the processor, then pulse to combine everything into a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste your jalapeno mayo. Add additional lime juice for extra tang, more salt as needed, or jalapeno seeds for increased heat according to your preference.
- Serve and Enjoy: Use immediately or refrigerate to let the flavors meld. Perfect as a spicy spread or dipping sauce.
Notes
- You can substitute the sour cream with additional mayonnaise if you prefer a thicker consistency or do not have sour cream on hand.
- Adjust the spice level by adding jalapeno seeds after blending, starting with a small amount to control the heat.
- This jalapeno mayo keeps well refrigerated for up to one week.
- For a smoother texture, process longer or strain out small bits after blending.
