💡 Tips
-
For a thinner dip, add a splash of water or lime juice.
-
Adjust jalapeño to your spice preference — one for mild, two for medium, and leave seeds for extra heat.
-
To prevent browning, squeeze extra lime juice over the surface and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
-
This dip also makes a great sandwich spread or taco topping.
I can also give you a smoky roasted version where you roast the jalapeño and garlic first for a deeper, more complex flavor. Do you want me to share that version?
