Lick-the-Spoon Cilantro Jalapeno Aioli

Made this tonight with Tasty Tuna Burgers as another reviewer suggested- absolutely delicious! Can't wait to make the combo again, but could definitely imagine using this with a number of other recipes.

I made this for my fish tacos. My husband won't eat fish without tartar sauce and the first thing he said was "forget the tartar sauce! I want this from now on." Now I am making it again tonight for baked cod. Great recipe. Thanks for posting.

Yum! I made this to go on my 'Tasty Tuna Burgers', another recipe from this site, killer combo!

I didn't have any limes on hand so instead I used two tablespoons of lime juice. Also, I didn't have cilantro on hand but I did have cilantro paste, I used a little less than 1/3 cup of that stuff. The aioli came out tangy and delish.

This was so good!!!! I used it on salmon burgers one night and mahi mahi burgers another night. The only question I have is how long can I keep it in the refrigerator?

Amazing. I added a little garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. It was amazing.

Absolutely delicious! Made as written with the addition of the lime zest. Served with baked sweet potato fries for dipping. This would be a great sauce for any summertime pasta salad, wraps, sandwiches, etc.

This aioli is amazing! We used it for fish tacos and it was the perfect combo. Left the jalapeño seeds and membrane for added kick. Didn't have olive oil mayo so I used regular mayor and added about 2tsp olive oil for flavor.

Great recipe, drizzled it over crock pot pork shoulder and it was delicious. Didn't have coriander or dill, but it was good without it. Used half fat free Greek yogurt and half olive oil mayo to cut down on the fat.

This stuff is crazy good! Made chicken, avocado, and mushroom quesadillas with extra sharp cheddar and drizzled this sauce over them. DELICIOUS! Definitely a keeper.

Holy moly! This sauce was bomb. Definitely lick the spoon sauce. I only made the recipe as is the first time and it was gone within minutes. Made yucca fries with it and used that as a dip. So so good. You definitely need to double it because you can use this stuff on so many things.

Delicious on everything!

I made one small revision and added a full avocado, a bit more lime, cuman, salt and cilantro and I have to say, this was absolutely delicious. This is probably my favorite recipe on this site for quite awhile. With the avocado, it looked like a shamrock shake and was almost as good only savory. This would go on just about anything. This will be my go to sauce for several recipes.

I made it with sour cream instead of mayo for more freshness, exactly the flavorI was looking for!!

This was perfect for our fish tacos...soooo yummy!

Perfect for our fish tacos.

DELICIOUS! I used this on all kinds of things! SO very good!

This is a home run as is. Great reviews every time!

so good! Now my shrimp and fish tacos are better than restaurant quality, according to my husband. :) Made it as written many times. I have used regular mayo as well as the olive oil mayo and couldn't really taste a difference.

I've made this once so far, but I know I'll be making it again and again. This dressing is fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly and used it on fish tacos--my boyfriend and I couldn't get enough of it. I was doubtful of the accuracy of the name before I made it, but I really did lick the spoon!

I have made this wonderful aioli about a dozen times. The only change I make is that I usually double the garlic. Thanks for posting!

I made this to go on fish tacos. It was the hit of the meal.

this stuff would make a leather shoe taste delicious. I put it on chicken and fish tacos. delicious. only thing I tweaked was less cumin (not a fan) and way more jalapeños. also letting it sit in fridge for a few hours before serving is key to marrying all the flavors together.

This aioli was perfect for the fish tacos I made! Will definitely continue to use it for tacos and anything else I can think of

Delicious! Used it as a topping for fish tacos as another reviewer suggested.

The name says it all! I made this as a sauce for the best margarita chicken recipe (on this site as well). Can’t wait to try it on fish tacos, salmon, and anything else I can think of.

Delicious!!! The ingredients are excellent and is not super spicy but with the amazing flavor of the jalapeno pepper. I love cilantro so there's no more to say but that is really, really good. We had it with raw vegetables and chicken wings.

Absolutely delicious! I used this inside chicken arepas and the crowd (that likes cilantro in the first place) has gone wild! I adjust the heat (b/c I like it spicy!) by adding membrane from the jalapeño.
One note: limes can vary greatly, so I measured and about 1 to 1 1/2 Tablespoons of lime juice was good.
Thank you for a great recipe!

My 3 year old picky eater loved this aioli. She literally licked the spoon and asked for more on her cumin turkey burger!

I made this for fish tacos. I loved the sauce. I think it makes a decent coleslaw dressing as well. I followed the recipe exactly at first, but I wanted more heat when it was done so I added a few dashes of cayenne. It is also good with a little greek yogurt stirred in for tang. I will use this again.

Perfect on the fish tacos last night. Perfect as a dressing for the left over shredded cabbage topped with guacamole and wrapped in a tortilla today!

This is an excellent sauce! My husband and I love it on any Mexican food, but it's also fantastic on fish, sandwiches, as a dip for corn chips! It's easy and delicious just as written!

This is literally lick the spoon good! Addictive even. I’ve made this recipe twice for tacos, and have loved it every time. First was with fish tacos for friends (they raved) and then again with a basic pulled chicken (lightly seasoned with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper): amazing. Can’t recommend this enough!

Really delicious and fresh, but I would reduce the garlic just a bit. Will be marina this again!

We were looking for a good egg-free topping for fish tacos and this really is fantastic! Made a few slight changes: Increased garlic to 2 cloves, used 1/8 cup sour cream instead of all mayo and used egg-free mayo. Also, added 1 tablespoon of Sriracha sauce, and increased salt to 1/2 teaspoon, and added sprinkle of paprika. For measurement purposes, used 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.

Very good! I made this to go on my Southwestern Turkey Burgers. Very flavorful. I think I'm going to put this on my sandwich for lunch today.

Amazing but if you like a little kick then substitute the 1 jalapeño with 5 serranos. Yum!!

We didn’t have quite the amount of cilantro. Used a Ring-of-fire pepper from the garden. It was delicious. Thanks for the inspiration!

The title says it all!

Delicious and goes great with just about anything...a keeper~YUM!!!! Thanks for sharing. :)

Delicious as written! I used vegan mayo and it turned out to be very tasty. This will be my go to taco topping and sour cream substitute!

Love this recipe!! Made for a shrimp taco recipe from this site and wow! Such a great topper and yes, I could see this on burgers, chicken or fish. Even replace sour cream in some Mexican rice recipes I have. Since my jalapeños were pretty small, I used two but otherwise; followed to the T! Thank you!!

Made this for a family picnic. We used it on our fish tacos and it was a hit.

LOVE this! We made this as a "dressing" for a Mexican style steak salad. I was surprised any actually made it on the salad we kept trying it. Super easy and can be used with a lot of different dishes

I made this for some fish tacos and I must say that it was really great, pretty much followed recipe as is, my wife thought it was great also and she is picky

Loved the flavor. I didn't bother to chop anything just threw it all in the Ninja blender. Quick, easy, and creamy. Served on top of fresh fish tacos.

Amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! a few small changes since I left just a little membrane on my pepper for just a little "kick". Plus added 2 cloves of garlic instead of 1 1/2. zested the lime per another suggestion, and added a pinch or two of some Paprika Lemon and Lime spice blend. Plan on serving with Zuchinni latkes this evening.

I ventured out of my comfort zone to make this and it was just delicious. I accidently doubled the cilantro but evened it out with sour cream. Absolutely delicious. It went very well with my duck tacos and the whole family liked it.

Awesome on almost everything!

This tastes amazing with seared ahi tuna tacos. I added some maple syrup to it to add a little sweetness.

This is perfect on fish tacos!

made this as a sauce for tortas and it was a huge hit. making it again for carne asada fries! definitely a keeper

Thus recipe is everything that everyone says it is, and you definitely want to lick the spoon!

I will make it again.

Excellent, and easy to make.

Frickin’ eh! Just upped my fish taco game thanks to this incredible aioli. (Don’t skimp on the jalapeños)

Made exactly as written, however doubled as I knew this was going to be my new go to. Used tonight on grilled sea bass tacos w red cabbage slaw. Yum

Wow, really good! I followed the recipe exactly however, i used reg mayo as I didn't have any olive oil mayo on hand. It still tasted great! I paired this with fish tacos.

Best sauce ever! My husband and both of my boys loved this sauce. I will make it every time I make fish tacos!

Perfect additional to our bistro taco night - put on chicken and fish tacos. Will definitely make again.

Made this as a slaw dressing for fish tacos. Excellent, simple, fresh, perfect for that and I'm sure it would be great with honey over fruits for the Mexican flare.

So easy and delicious! The taste reminds me of the Mediterranean veggie sandwich from Panera. Lots of flavor. Will make again.

This was easy and delicious! Put on grilled shrimp tacos with slaw and avocado

Used half Greek yogurt to cut the fat. Still delicious!

I made this without any substitutions and it was delicious! I put it in a black bean burrito and dipped anything I could find into it! So tasty!

Amazing sauce. Use this as a topping for the fiery fish tacos (recipe on this site too!)

This has great flavor with earthy tones from the ground cumin. This would be good on fish tacos.

Wow this was really good. Had it on actually delicious turkey burgers (recipe on Allrecipes). Was literally lick the spoon good!

Ideal for fish, shrimp and assorted shell fish. Made 2 batches, one as stated and another with added spices cayenne, sweet chili pepper and black pepper. Made pulled pork than for a secondary meal made pulled pork quesadillas, this sauce is awesome with the pork and cheese mixture!

I might try half yoghurt and half mayonnaise next time....

Amazing!!!!

I’ve made this recipe twice, the first time I didn’t have any limes, so I just used juice. Delicious either way. I am making more tonight to drizzle over fried green tomatoes.

Very tasty. Had it on beer battered fish tacos with taco slaw.

I added a half of an avocado and 3 tbs of low fat yogurt to see how that would work. It was good!

already rated! OUTSTANDING. Put it on fish tacos.

Lick the spoon is incorrect. It's more like tip the bottle and eat it all. I'm not a regular rater of recipes but this was just too good. I am a BIG fan of cilantro so I had to try this. I made it with the cilantro lime chicken tacos that you make in the crock pot from this site and it was to die for with angle hair cabbage slaw some chopped avocados, tomatoes, and just a bit of shredded monterrey jack cheese on a soft flour tortilla. I almost added the juice from the other half of lime and I almost used half sour cream in place of all mayo. I'm so glad I made it as is or I wouldn't have known exactly how good this stuff is. I also thought it would be hot but not at all. Of course I didn't add the seeds or ribs from the jalapeno either. If you are a fan of cilantro, trust me you will love this!

Great recipe! Used it in coleslaw for fish tacos and also added more to fish for extra moisture. Will definitely make this again and try it with other proteins.

5 stars all the way! I added a little extra cilantro, I used about a full cup of the leaves. Soooo amazing! I was trying to copy the cilantro mayo from a highly rated taco place I went to in Hollywood Beach, FL. THIS ACTUALLY SURPASSED IT! I could drink it, it’s that good lol

Who has time for a spoon, I’ll just drink this stuff!! It’s amazing on vegetables, fries, chicken, steak — the possibilities are endless!

I made this with avocado mayo. I used most of the jalapeno seeds because I love heat, and it's definitely spicy! I used it on fish tacos. I had leftover ailoi, so I've been using it on sandwich wraps. It's been in my fridge for over a week, and has held up well. If I were to use this as a dip, I would remove the membrane and seeds as per recipe, and then slowly add them in until I got my perfect level of spiciness. I will be making this again, and again, and again.
