• 1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
• 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped (adjust for heat)
• 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Place the cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and cumin in a blender or food processor.
2. Blend on high until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, about 30 to 60 seconds.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime, salt, or jalapeño to your preference.
4. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, drizzle in the olive oil while blending until it reaches a pourable consistency.
