green sauce is an essential topping for burrito bowls,quesadillas, tamales, and evenscrambled eggsin my house.

I use it so much that I always have at least one backup bottle on hand.

The flavor is bright, acidic, and spicy without overwhelming whatever you serve it with.

Its an excellent imitation of thespicy salsa verdeserved at my favorite Bay Area taquerias.

For a fast, protein-packed breakfast, I pair it with avocado toast and a fried egg.

I also love it with chicken shawarma or falafel sandwiches, as it adds a welcome kick.
