"I really enjoyed this. A good friend of mine is Columbian and offered this as a alternative to chimichurri. It has WAAY less fat than chimichurri and it tastes great. It is better to make it ahead of ..." See moretime though. That way the flavors have time to mix. I grilled a flank steak and used this on the steak after it was cooked. Thanks!"

"This stuff is great on everything from chips to steak. I was worried about the excessive amount of jalapenos, but it wasn't too hot. I did tone down the zing of the peppers with some Spanish onion...." See more"
