2ripe avocados
The juice of 2-4 small limesadjust to taste
1medium sized bunch of cilantrochopped
2-3jalapeños or Serrano peppersseeded and deveined (use green bell pepper for a non-spicy version)
3-4garlic clovescrushed - adjust to taste
1/4cupolive oil - or avocado oil for a neutral flavor
1teaspoonground cumin - optionaladjust to taste
Salt to taste
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients in a blender; it helps the blending process if the avocados are in small chunks and the cilantro is lightly chopped. I also recommend crushing the garlic before putting it in the blender to ensure no one gets a surprise large piece of garlic.
Blend until you have a smooth sauce. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
