Step 3

Reduce heat to low, and roughly mash with a potato masher to reach your desired consistency. I like mine a little chunky, but if you want it super smooth, use an immersion blender. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, or until thickened to your liking. Squeeze in some lime, and finish with cilantro or parsley
