Baja Sauce



Baja Sauce -  a spicy/creamy sauce for Fish Tacos

  • 473ml / 2 cups sour cream
  • ¼ cup of milk 
  • 1 medium fresh green chili pepper 
  • ¼ teaspoon Cumin 
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic
  • Fresh Lime Juice from ½ a lime
  • Fresh Coriander (optional)
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (use if needed)
  • Salt to taste


you want the sauce to sit for a while prior to serving.

Crush, peel and chop the garlic

Cut the chili

Put the sour cream in a food processor along with chili, cumin, lime juice and garlic and process on medium for a few seconds.

Start slowly adding milk until you get a thinner consistency- if it’s too thin just add a bit more sour cream until it’s just right.


Give it a taste. It should be very spicy- if not, add chili flakes to get the heat up! Since the sause is going to be served with sweet fish and salsa you can bring the heat up higher than you might normally enjoy if it were just on its own.
