Place the jalapeños and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Roast for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until the skins are blistered and slightly charred. Remove the jalapeños and let cool slightly. Remove the stems and, if desired, the seeds for less heat. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted jalapeños, garlic, cilantro, vinegar, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. While blending, slowly stream in the olive oil to emulsify. Add water gradually until the sauce reaches your desired thickness. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
