Add the chopped jalapeños and cook for another 2 minutes, until slightly softened.

Pour in the tequila and simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.

6
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
7
Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors as needed, adding more lime juice for a tangier taste or more honey for a sweeter flavor.
