Can this sauce be frozen
Hi Chris! I haven’t try that yet, not sure how it will fold its taste and texture. If you try freezing it I would love to know if you liked it?
I made this sauce for chimichangas along with a pineapple salsa and my family went insane! Definitely a new favorite! Thank you!
Adaptaptable to dairy free and excellent sauce!
I substituted plain almondmilk yogurt for sour cream and almondmilk cream cheese with perfect results.
Thank you Karen! So glad you like it!
I can’t wait to make it. Any suggestions for flour substitute as I have one that can’t eat gluten. Do you think it will work if I do less flour or a different kind or leave it out? Thanks
Hi Tracy! You can use corn starch mixed with cold water instead of flour, hope this helps. I haven’t tried it yet, but I would use 2 teaspoons of corn starch with 2 teaspoon of cold water, mix and add it to the sauce and see if you want to add more to thicken the sauce. Hope this is helpful!
