Ingredients

  • 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon crema
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Set jalapenos and garlic on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. Flip the peppers half way through.
  • Once the pepper skins have nicely charred and started to bubble up, remove everything from heat.
  • Cool peppers slightly then set them into a plastic bag and seal to steam. This will loosen the skins.
  • Peel skins and set into a food processor.
  • Peel the garlic and set them into food processor.
  • Add crema and process until smooth.
  • Adjust with salt and serve!

Notes

Heat Factor: Medium. You'll get some decent level heat from the jalapeno peppers. Use serrano peppers for a higher level of heat.
