What Is Creamy Jalapeño Green Sauce?

Creamy jalapeño green sauce is a smooth, emulsified Mexican-style sauce made with cooked jalapeños, garlic, seasoning, and oil. Unlike chunky salsas, this version blends up silky and rich, with heat levels you can easily control.

The result is a sauce that’s bold without being overpowering — and dangerously easy to keep pouring.

How to Make Creamy Jalapeño Green Sauce

Ingredients (Per Batch)

• 10–12 medium to large jalapeños
• 2 tbsp chicken bouillon (powder or cubes)
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• ½ tbsp SPG seasoning
  (or substitute: ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp granulated garlic)
• 1 to 1½ cups neutral oil (canola works great)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the jalapeños: Trim off the stems.
2. Choose your heat level:
   • Hot: Boil jalapeños whole and blend as-is.
   • Medium: Boil whole, then remove seeds and veins before blending.
   • Mild: Split jalapeños, remove seeds and veins, then boil.
3. Boil the jalapeños until they turn dark green and are fork-tender (about 10 minutes).
4. Drain and cool slightly.
5. Blend the base: Add jalapeños and all dry ingredients to a blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds.
6. Emulsify with oil:
   • Add 2 tablespoons of oil and blend for 30 seconds.
   • Add ½ cup oil and blend on high for 3 minutes.
   • Slowly add the remaining oil, blending 15–20 seconds between additions.
   • Finish with a final 3–5 minute blend for maximum creaminess.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
