Notes
- The nutritional information provided is for one ounce of sauce, which equals 2 tablespoons.
- The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- I do not recommend freezing the sauce, as the dairy will separate and the texture of the sauce will not be the same after it’s been frozen.
- The recipe is naturally gluten free and keto-friendly.
- To make the sauce vegan, use plant-based sour cream, or canned coconut cream, instead of the Mexican crema.
