Two weeks ago, our department hosted a potluck burrito bar. My colleague, who's Mexican-American, is famous for her sauces. She made several types of sauce for this event, the cilantro jalapeno sauce, members only sauce and a burrito sauce. Of the three sauces, the cilantro jalapeno sauce caught my eye due to it's lime green color. It has a mild jalapeno kick and a rich cilantro goodness. A lot of people asked for the recipe and she graciously shared it with us. She mentioned getting the recipe from the America's Test Kitchen show.
