SOUTHWESTERN PESTO SAUCE



Southwestern Pesto Sauce image

Here's a great alternative to regular pesto sauce. It's delicious, it's easy, and it goes with so many things! Try it and see how many things you can pair it with. Unless you like it spicy, you may want to tame it down a little or a lot. Try it with a little less on the jalapeño peppers, and remember that it will get more intense as it sits. You can always add, but you can't take it out. If you have trouble finding the Mexican grating cheese just substitute it with Parmesan.
