I love this sauce! Cream cheese makes it delicious. My husband is not the biggest fan of cream cheese and can always tell when I “sneak” it in. Any suggestions for masking the taste or substitutes?
Hi, i tried it and it’s very tasty 😋 Was wondering for how long can I keep it in the fridge ?
Thanks for your answer 🙂
Thank you, Sanja! It should stay fresh up to 3-5 days in airtight container.
Have you ever used greek yogurt to sub the sour cream? Just trying to make it a bit lighter.
Hi Ashley! I haven’t tried it with greek yogurt, if you do try it, please let me know if you like it!?
I made it with greek yogurt instead of sour cream and it turned out great! Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you, Ashley! 🙂
I haven’t tried the white sauce yet, but I plan to. My family loves chicken and beef chimichangas. I add onions and peppers in the beef with every thing else the same. I love cilantro! However, the stems have much flavor in them so they are chopped up with the leaves. Never thrown away. Thanks for your great recipes!
I made this with vegan sour cream, vegan butter, and vegan cream cheese, because my hubby is very allergic to dairy. It was fantastic! It was so creamy and smooth. I will use this a lot. I held back a lot on the hot sauce, and it was still great!
Cream cheese is really hard on my stomach. I substituted with ranch and still a super tasty sauce! I use this recipe all the time. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe review, Haylee! I appreciate it! And ranch inside the sauce sounds delicious!
Great recipe, also wondering if this sauce can be frozen.
Hi Kathy! Thank you for your recipe review, I haven’t froze this sauce before, not sure how it will look after being frozen. If you try it please let me know how you liked it! Thank you!
This sauce is Amazing!!! My family loved the chimichangas. I’m making the enchiladas today!
This sauce is amazing and rivals my local favorite Mexican restaurant’s queso dip. Can any extras of this be frozen?
Great recipe, also wondering if this sauce can be frozen.
The sauce is wonderful !! It makes the chimichangas so good. My husband likes it better than the Mexican resturants.
[…] like burritos, this recipe was super fast to make. This recipe does require you to make a Mexican White Sauce, but that only takes 15 minutes and adds a delicious flavor that’s worth the extra […]
Sauce was simple to make and great in the chimichangas. I am curious if you can freeze the leftover or about other recipes to use it in.
