Sauce Ingredients
- 2 cups cilantro lightly packed
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed for less heat
- 1 large garlic clove
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place cilantro, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, garlic clove, and salt into a small food processor or blender.
- Blend: Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, but not fully pureed—you want to retain some green specks of cilantro for texture.
- Chill: Transfer the sauce to a container and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a milder sauce, remove all seeds from the jalapeno before blending.
- Add more lime juice to increase tanginess if desired.
- This sauce pairs well with grilled chicken, fish tacos, or as a dip for vegetables.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
