Mexican Restaurant Style White Sauce
I enjoy eating at the generic Mexican restaurants that all seem to have the same menu. Number One is always the Speedy Gonzales. You know the ones I am referring to. The dining experience always starts out with tortilla chips, salsa and sometimes a white sauce. This white sauce was always mysterious to me. The ingredients just weren't obvious. I of course turned to the internet for answers. The nebulous and illusive ingredient? Miracle Whip! After learning that, it seems obvious but I never connected the flavor dots on it. If you like this sauce, I encourage you to check out the variety of recipes out there and give it a go. That's what I did, and this is my take on it.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Miracle Whip
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1/3 – 3/4 cup Milk
- Juice from 1/2 of a Lime
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Basil
- 1 tsp Cayenne
- 1-2 Tbls Brine from Pickle Jalapeno
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- This is super easy. I recommend mixing up the night before to allow the spices and flavors time to get together and party.
- Just mix all ingredients listed. Starting with the lesser amount of milk. Stir until smooth. For thinner sauce add more milk, lime juice and/or brine.
- I used brine left over from homemade Cowboy Candy pickled jalapenos. Sweet & Spicy.
- Some recipes call for adding pickled jalapenos and combining all ingredients in a blender.
