Mexican white salsa, also known as salsa blanca, is a versatile condiment with a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor profile. It is a popular staple in Mexican cuisine, often served alongside various dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and nachos. The vibrant white color of this salsa comes from its main ingredients, which usually include tomatillos, onions, garlic, and chili peppers. The tomatillos provide a slightly tart and tangy flavor, while the onions and garlic add depth and complexity. The chili peppers bring a touch of heat, which can be adjusted to personal preference. Additionally, Mexican white salsa often incorporates herbs like cilantro and cumin, which enhance its overall flavor and aroma.

MEXICAN WHITE SAUCE



Mexican White Sauce image

Here's a recipe I have been trying to figure out for a long time. You know that white sauce that they give you along with salsa when you sit down at a Mexican restaurant. This is as close as i could come. I cant help but still feel like its missing "something". So please, feel free to experiment and comment.. PS: It's NOT supposed to be a Cheese sauce at all. They do serve cheese sauces at mexican restaurants, but this particular sauce has no cheese. Anyone who has had it, will know what it is because its so good!

Time 5m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Miracle Whip
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash paprika
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 dash cayenne pepper (to taste depending on how you like it, but it doesn't take much!)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together with wisk or mixer or blender, etc.
  • Best if chilled overnight.
  • Serve with homemade Mexican style tortilla chips.
  • Note: You may need to experiment with the spices to your own taste. Also, you may like to add more or less ranch dressing to taste, and also more or less milk to the consistency you like. Start out with less, then taste and add as you like. Most Mexican restaurants I've been to are different with the white sauce.
  • I have also added sour cream to this recipe and it also does well.
  • Please, if anyone finds a better way or something to add or subtract, please comment and note it!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky depth of flavor.
  • Use fresh garlic and onion: Fresh garlic and onion add a pop of flavor to your salsa.
  • Don't over-blend your salsa: A slightly chunky salsa has more texture and flavor than a completely smooth salsa.
  • Season your salsa to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Let your salsa chill: Chilling your salsa allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve your salsa with your favorite Mexican dishes: White salsa is a great addition to tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas.

Conclusion:

White salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of Mexican dishes. It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients, and it can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your Mexican meal, give white salsa a try.
