Ingredients

  • 2 jalapeños
  • 1 cup of cilantro
  • 4 oz of cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of lime juice
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 2 dashes of white vinegar

Instructions

  • First, wash and gather all of your ingredients.
  • Depending on your desired heat level, you can deseed the jalapeños or leave the seeds in. The first time I made this recipe I left them all in and it was just a tad too much. Next time, I think I'll deseed one or two of the jalapeños.
  • Put the jalapeños in the food processor with the cilantro and blend. When it's course mix in the cream cheese. Then add in the lime juice, oil and vinegar.
  • Taste it and add a dash or two of salt depending on your own personal taste. Good? Well, just be sure not to eat it all just yet. You'll want to save it for the chicken you're making or even the turkey burgers!
