Fajita Addendum

As if our fajita omelets weren’t enough of a “P.S.”, the fajitas proved to be the food that really did keep on giving.  And since just turning the makings of fajitas into burritos may not have been the most exciting for A who gets sick of leftovers, we added a twist.

So more than the burritos that we made, this post is about the sauce that made them blog-worthy: a sauce that we were introduced to while out with friends at a Peruvian restaurant.  We loved this sauce so much that we would venture to say it has changed our lives (and certainly our burritos).

What was this sauce?  It was, for lack of a more colorful name, Jalapeno Mayonnaise.  Before adding the filling to our burritos, we lathered the tortilla with this new sauce of ours.  It was delicious.  Now we want to eat it with everything.  Try it.

 

Jalapeno Mayonnaise

6 Jalapenos

1/2 cup olive oil

2 cloves of garlic

1/4 cup mayonaise

salt to taste

 

Slice the peppers into thick strips.  Keep some of the seeds if you like it hot.

Put the olive oil in a small sauce pan and add the garlic and the jalapenos (with or without the seeds).  Let this simmer for about 15 minutes.  Remove from the heat.

Allow the mixture to cool and then puree it.  Once it is pureed strain it to separate the liquid and the pulpy stuff.  Add 3 tbsp and 1 tsp of the liquid to the mayonnaise.  Add 1 tbsp of the pulp.  Mix in well.
