  • 1 average sized lime should yield approximately 2 tbsp when juiced.
  • If unavailable, replace fresh jalapeños with preserved ones, approximately 10 slices to replace 1 whole jalapeño.
  • This recipe is of mild heat, if you prefer hot and spicy, add additional jalapeños and chilli powder to taste.
