I first discovered this dressing at a Mexican restaurant in New York City. I was immediately hooked on its creamy texture and flavorfulful flavor. I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making this dressing ever since, and I love to use it on tacos, burritos, salads, and even grilled chicken.
