Chile Avocado Sauce

Chile Avocado Sauce is the sauce I created to go with the recipe for Quinoa Stuffed Poblano Peppers. However, it’s so good it can easily be paired with tortilla chips for a dip that will wow your tastebuds!

It’s the freshness of the ingredients – the avocado, the lime, the chiles and the cilantro that really make this Chile Avocado Sauce shine. It’s creamy, it’s fresh and it gets a nice spike from the lime and smokey chiles. 

Everytime I have leftovers of this sauce I get to try it on breakfast burritos, nachos, tacos – oh my! It’s delicious!

Notes

Tips

  • Years and years ago, a cooking class instructor told us to pull the cilantro leaves off and then chop them. I later learned that there is no need to discard the stems as they have lots of flavor, too. So now I wash and dry the cilantro, and then lay the bundle on a cutting board and chop away. I am thrilled to skip that tedious step!
  • If you like a spicier sauce, taste once mixed, and then add more chiles or jalapeños as needed.
