<\/span>Ingredients<\/span><\/h3>
  • 2<\/span> large avocados<\/span> halved and pitted<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> cup<\/span> lightly packed fresh cilantro<\/span> (some stems are okay)<\/span><\/li>
  • \u2153<\/span> cup<\/span> lime juice<\/span> (from about 2 \u00bd limes)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> small<\/span> jalape\u00f1o<\/span> seeds and ribs removed, roughly chopped<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> Tbsp<\/span> water<\/span> more as needed to thin<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> tsp<\/span> fine sea salt<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>
    • Using a spoon, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a food processor or blender. Add the cilantro, lime juice, jalape\u00f1o, water, and salt.<\/div><\/li>
    • Process, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary, until the sauce is smooth and creamy. (If the mixture refuses to blend, add additional water in 1-tablespoon increments, as necessary.)<\/div><\/li>
    • If you would like a thinner, more drizzly sauce, add water in 1-tablespoon increments until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste, and add more salt if it\u2019s not quite flavorful enough.<\/div><\/li>
    • Transfer the avocado sauce to a small serving bowl. This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
