From Tastefully Simple Hot pepper sauce and a jalapeno pepper give this snappy sauce just the right amount of zip. It makes a great dip for tortilla chips or a tangy sauce for tacos and fajitas. This is always a big hit at parties and office gathering, writes Barbara Sellers of Shreveport, Louisiana. I even make it for my mother when she needs to bring a dip to a party.
Ingredients:
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and halved
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 garlic clove, halved
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon grated lime peel
5 drops hot pepper sauce
tortilla chips
Directions:
1. In a blender, combine the first 10 ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Serve with tortilla chips. Yield: 5 servings.
2. Editor's Note: When cutting hot peppers, disposable gloves are recommended. Avoid touching your face.
