Southwestern Pesto Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 ounces grating Mexican blend cheese, cut into pieces (at room temperature)
    2 garlic cloves, peeled
    1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and cut into quarters
    2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chili peppers, sliced and drained well
    3/4 cup pine nuts (I used 3/4 can slivered almonds)
    1/4 cup fresh parsley sprig, lightly packed
    1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, lightly packed
    2 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
    Place cheese, garlic, and jalapeno pepper in a blender container or a food processor bowl.
    Cover, blend or process until finely grated.
    Add chili peppers, nuts, parsley and cilantro.
    With machine running slowly, gradually add oil.
    Blend until nearly smooth.
    Set aside 1 cup for pork roast.
    Freeze remaining pesto for up to a month.
    Note: Always keep in mind that the chili's contain oils, and that they can burn your skin, and your eyes; wear gloves or wash your hands often.
