What is Creamy Jalapeño Sauce?
Creamy jalapeño sauce is the perfect addition to all things- especially Mexican food. It's easy and throws together in minutes. Try topping it on nachos, Dipping your taquitos in, or pouring it over tacos! Most the time we just generously dip crunchy tortilla chips straight in it.
Is This Jalapeño Sauce Spicy?
No, It's very mild! Make sure you cut out the rinds and seeds from the peppers. Then the jalapeños add flavor not heat. If you would like to add some additional heat you can remove only the stem and blend the entire jalapeño OR add a spicy pepper (like habanero) in addition to the jalapeños.

I remove the seeds and rinds from the jalapeños and it's a very mild dip. Like mild enough for my toddler to eat it. For additional spice throw the entire jalapeno in after trimming off the stem.
PRO TIP: Large jalapeños are less spicy than smaller jalapeños. Pick bigger peppers if possible.
