Cilantro Lime Sauce
It only takes 5 minutes to whip up THE BEST Cilantro Lime Sauce, perfect for steak, chicken, shrimp or fish tacos! This creamy Mexican sauce is literally good on everything.
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh cilantro, leaves and stems
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 4 tablespoons lime juice, fresh-squeezed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Mexican crema, or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
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.
