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 has a mild kick of spice from the jalapeno, but I definitely wouldn't call it spicy. If you're extremely sensitive to spice, you can always leave the jalapeno out of the sauce. If you want more spice, feel free to add another jalapeno or a serrano pepper.
- 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.
