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.
