Notes
- If you like things really spicy, keep the seeds in the jalapeno peppers.
- Add cotija cheese for extra flavor, I left it out to minimize the calories in the sauce.
- Serve as a dip and crumble queso fresco or any salty cheese.
- I have served this to friends and gotten rave reviews when serving with a veggie platter.
