This sauce is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great on tacos or burritos.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover cilantro. I always have a bunch of cilantro in my fridge, and this sauce is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

I used Greek yogurt in this sauce and it turned out great. I think it gave the sauce a nice tanginess.
