  1. Chop ONION medium. Cap CHILIS and chop coarse. Squeeze LIME JUICE.
  2. Place All Items in a Blender or Mixie. Run to the consistency you want, coarse to smooth. For more chunky chop Chilis and Onion fairly fine, then just mix.
  3. Refrigerated, this sauce will keep a week or so.
NOTES:

  1. Lime Juice:

      Alternatively, you can use White Vinegar. If you do, increase the Water to 3 Tablespoons. This sauce will last longer than a week if using Vinegar instead of Lime Juice.

      You can add Cilantro, Parsley, or other herbs of your choice to the mix.
