Notes
- Nutritional value is approximately per 1/4 cup.
- Yield: 1 1/4 cup of sauce
- Customize the heat: Add more heat by increasing the chili powder or jalapeno. Reduce the heat by omitting either the chili powder or jalapeno and replace the chili powder with paprika.
- Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 7 days. It may thicken a little over time, you can loosen it by adding a teaspoon of water and a teaspoon of lime juice and blending again.
- Freezing: If you are planning on freezing this sauce, we recommend making it without the sour cream, freezing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months, and then when defrosting to use, then blend with the sour cream for the best results.
- Make it vegan: Use a non-dairy sour cream to make this a vegan sauce.
