CAFE RIO CREAMY TOMATILLO DRESSING (CLOSE COPYCAT)
I have tried a few Copycat Creamy Tomatillo Recipes, and this is by far the best and closest to the original. It make a FABULOUS wrap for a quick healthy meal (tortilla, precooked and seasoned meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, dressing, and maybe cheese and sour cream if you like). Absolutely delicious and a quick meal in a pinch as long as you have some pre-cooked and seasoned meat on hand!
