What is This Taco Truck Green Sauce?

Have you ever bought food from a taco truck? After you got your order, did you make your way to the array of condiments they have for you to top your tacos or burritos with? Among the selection of delicious salsas and toppings, did you notice the “green stuff” and took a chance, then fell in love with the sauce? If you silently said yes in your head, then you have tried the mysterious Taco Truck Green Sauce, my friend!

You may also know it as “Jalapeno Salsa” or the “Green Salsa”. It tastes absolutely delicious and adds a good kick to your meal!

While there is not a “one-size-fits-all” recipe for the Taco Truck Green Sauce, there are a few basic ingredients that almost all of them include. So make this basic Taco Truck Green Sauce recipe, taste it, then adjust it to your taste preferences as needed!

What You Need to Make The Ultimate Taco Truck Green Sauce

• 5 roasted jalapenos, stems discarded
• 1 onion, peeled and halved
• 2 large cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make The Ultimate Taco Truck Green Sauce

1. In a high-speed blender, add the roasted jalapenos, onion, garlic, lime juice, oil, and, salt. Blend until smooth.
2. Taste, and adjust seasonings as needed to make this recipe your own. You might want to add cilantro, cumin, or chili powder – or you can call it good on its own!
3. To serve, pour the green sauce into a bowl and pair with tortilla chips or tacos (when I’m feeling extra, I’ll serve this sauce in a molcajete).
