BAJA SAUCE (a great condiment)

This Baja sauce is a great addition to a wide variety of foods: tacos, wraps, burritos, fish tacos, shrimp, etc. Make sure you let it sit in the fridge overnight to let the flavors develop and meld.
¼ of a red bell pepper chopped
1 jalapeno sliced (see note below)
2 tablespoons diced onion

Put the above ingredients in a food processor, and chop until very fine.

Mix 6 teaspoons of the above chopped mixture with:

½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vinegar
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin

Mix well and cover. Chill overnight.
NOTE: If you remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno, there is very little kick to this sauce. If you like a little more "heat", leave the seeds and ribs in.

NOTE: I've never tried Miracle Whip in this recipe, so I can't comment on that. I used light mayonnaise and light sour cream and it worked very well.

NOTE: This keeps in the fridge for several days.
