Jalapeño Cream Sauce

Amy Lawrence
This creamy delicious Jalapeño Cream Sauce is a great way to add some pizazz to any taco, sandwich or burger. Because it's made with light sour cream, it's lower in calories and points but because it's made with jalapeños and garlic, it's full of zip. A little goes a long way.  If you use less than a tablespoon, then it doesn't even count as a smart point! Woo hoo! I use a tiny bit as a substitute for mayo on my turkey sliders. Yum! Be creative and discover your own uses for this wonderful Jalapeño Cream! 1 smart point per 1 tablespoon, if you use 2 t. then it doesn't count as any points on the recipe builder in the Weight Watchers ap :)  It lasts about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
