Method
- Put all the ingredients in a small food processor and blend until smooth. If you like a bit more of a kick, keep the seeds in the chillies. If you don't have fresh jalapeños you can always use jarred, but make sure you don't add any of the liquid from the jar.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Adjust the consistency with a little water if necessary.
