Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
  1. Prepare the jalapenos by removing the stems and seeds and chopping them into smaller pieces.
  2. Sauté the chopped jalapenos and minced garlic in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Cool the sautéed mixture for a few minutes to prevent cooking the remaining ingredients.
  4. Blend the cooled mixture with sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  5. If the sauce is too thick, add milk gradually while blending until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Taste and adjust flavor with salt, pepper, or lime juice, then chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
