Jalapeño Cilantro Sauce Recipe - Chichilicious

Would you like some heat with that? This is a spicy, fresh herb sauce that goes well with everything. I made it as a dipping sauce for some chicken taquitos, and I had some left over so I also used it with breaded fish fillets. It would also pair great with anything you grill on the BBQ this summer.
