Cilantro Lime Sauce

While this isn't a traditional breakfast dish, this vibrant cilantro lime sauce transforms simple breakfast tacos, scrambled eggs, or chilaquiles into something restaurant-worthy—and it takes just minutes to make.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Add cilantro, sour cream, mayo, lime juice, jalapeño, and garlic to a blender or food processor.
2. Pulse until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
3. Stir in cumin, then taste and adjust salt and pepper.
4. Thin with a splash of water if you prefer a drizzle consistency.
5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
