Quick Picante Sauce
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 gatherings. I even make it for my mother when she needs to bring a dip to a party. —Barbara Sellers, Shreveport, Louisiana

I made this sauce today and followed the recipe exactly. It was delicious but I think next time I will use a little less chili powder. But that is just me. It has a wonderful flavor. The cilantro flavor is predominant but I love cilantro. I used half a large (about 3-inch long) fresh jalapeno, halved and deseeded and deribbed. It did not make the sauce hot at all. For more heat, leave in some of the seeds. I thought it was a delicious picante sauce and will be making it again. Volunteer Field Editor
