Avocado Hot Sauce
Creamy, spicy and bright with a hint of tang and smokiness, this Avocado Hot Sauce is different from most thanks to the delicious addition of fried onion and jalapeños blended into the sauce!Ready in just 2 steps and under 10 minutes, it goes on everything from meats to fish, fries, Yuca Fries (a favorite!), Patacones, tacos, burritos, Colombian Arepas, Taco Bell Chicken Quesadillas, eggs and more!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) oil (vegetable, canola, sunflower, peanut oil)
- 1/4 medium white onion
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 clove garlic (optional)
- 1 handful cilantro (washed)
- 1 medium avocado (if using small ones use 2, I recommend Hass for best flavor and a creamy texture)
- 1 medium lime (juiced)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Fry. In a small skillet or saucepan, add the oil and allow to heat until very hot, then add in the jalapeño, onion, and garlic (optional). Fry until a bit charred on all sides, don’t move the veggies while frying, just flip them once they’re charred on each side.
- Blend. Add the fried jalapeño, onion, garlic with the frying oil into a blender then add the cilantro, lime juice, avocado, and salt and blend until creamy! For a pourable texture, add some water. This sauce is best eaten fresh but you can store it overnight in the refrigerator (it might turn a bit brown because of the avocado).
