  3. If using roasted jalapeños (about 2-3), roast them until slightly charred. Immediately place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, peel and finely chop the jalapeños. Add to the sauce.
  5. Finely chop 1-2 serrano peppers (adjust to your spice preference) and add to the sauce.
  6. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  7. (Optional) Add 1 cup of sliced cherry or grape tomatoes for a sweeter variation.

  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
