You’ll need a half pound of fresh jalapenos, that’s usually about five medium-sized jalapenos. And yes, five jalapenos will give your sauce some heat!  But the acidity of the vinegar will temper the heat, so don’t worry about it being overwhelming.

Start by sweating 1/4 onion and a single garlic clove in some oil over medium heat. Once the onion is browning you can  add: 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano  1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional) freshly cracked black pepper

Let these aromatics heat up for a couple minutes and then add the remaining ingredients: the rinsed, de-stemmed jalapenos 1/4 cup white vinegar 1/4 cup water 1/4 teaspoon salt

For this batch I roasted a cubed potato in the oven after coating it with oil and chile powder.   The potatoes take about 30-40 minutes in the oven, so if you want some roasted papas it’s always best to start them first.

I also made some crispy, cheesy corn tortillas for this batch. Simply add 4 corn tortillas to a dry skillet over medium heat.  Add some cheese to half of the tortilla.  I also added thinly sliced tomato to each of them. Once the tortillas are warm you can fold them in half and cook each side until they are getting crispy.

I also scrambled 6 eggs in plain ol’ butter and cooked some bacon in the oven for this batch. Once the eggs are done it’s time to serve everything up! Be sure to put the Jalapeno Sauce in the center as that's the key to this breakfast!
