Cilantro Cream Sauce image

Our local television station here in Houston has a segment on Sundays that airs local restaurants and it's recipes. I have been waiting and waiting for this one! This Cilantro Cream Sauce is served over Chicken Enchiladas and they are to die for in my opinion. This cream sauce is absolutely evil :) It's a very very rich sauce and should be avoided by all dieters! I made this and poured it over some chicken enchiladas which came out great but now I'm thinking of a pasta dish and substituting the alfredo sauce with this one. The possiblities are endless with this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This sauce is the perfect addition to any Mexican-inspired dish. I love it on tacos, burritos, and enchiladas.

This sauce is a great way to add some extra flavor to bland dishes. I've used it on grilled chicken, fish, and vegetables, and it always makes them taste better.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I really enjoyed this sauce. The cilantro flavor was subtle, and it didn't overpower the other ingredients.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover sour cream. I always have a container of sour cream in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I didn't have any cilantro on hand, so I used parsley instead. It turned out great! The parsley added a slightly different flavor to the sauce, but it was still delicious.

I found that this sauce was a little too thick for my taste. I added a little bit of milk to thin it out, and it was perfect.

This sauce is the perfect balance of creamy and tangy. The cilantro adds a nice brightness, and the lime juice gives it a refreshing kick.

This cilantro cream sauce was a hit at my last dinner party! Everyone raved about how flavorful and creamy it was. I served it over grilled chicken and rice, and it was the perfect complement to both.
