This kicked up cilantro-lime cream sauce makes EVERYTHING taste great! It gets a boost of flavor from our homemade fajita seasoning and is perfect on salmon, chicken, veggies or this amazing South of the Border Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe and cilantro-lime rice from our fantastic Family Favorites Menu Plans. It boasts a wonderful combination of cool and spicy you are going to love.
