Comments:
This sauce goes with the Cheesy Baked Tacos, but would be good with other Mexican dishes too.
Serving Suggestions:
Ingredients:
1 poblano pepper
2 garlic cloves, skin on
2 cups fresh cilantro
1 avocado, halved
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tsp. ground cumin
Fine pink Himalayan salt, or equivalent

Instructions:
1. Turn on the broiler.

2. Arrange the poblano and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Broil for 3-5 minutes, watching closely, until darkened on top. Using tongs, remove the garlic cloves. Flip the pepper and broil until charred, 2-3 minutes more.

3. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Remove the garlic skins and the poblano seeds. Transfer the poblano and garlic to a blender of food processor and add the cilantro, avocado, lime juice, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed, about 1 minute. If necessary, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time to thin. Tase and add salt as needed.

4. Store in a air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week.
