Four-Ingredient Jalapeño–Pecan Pesto

INGREDIENTS

· 2 jalapeños stems removed (seeded for mild, seeds left in for heat)
· 1/2 cup pecans
· 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
· 1/2 cup sour cream

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove stems from the jalapeños. Remove seeds for a milder pesto or leave some seeds for more heat.
2. Add jalapeños, pecans, Parmesan cheese, and sour cream to a food processor.
3. Pulse until smooth or slightly textured, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Adjust consistency if needed: add more pecans or Parmesan to thicken, or more sour cream to loosen.

Cook’s Tip: The best texture is achieved when slightly underprocessed. Works well as a spread, sauce, or dip.
