This was really good. I subbed 1/2 of the mayo for sour cream and also added a little chili con queso..yum! Put it all into a blender at same time..so easy. Really added flavor to our chimichangas. Thanks! Will definitely make again.

I love this recipe as it is, but I recently started Weight Watchers so I have been modifying my favorites. I traded 3/4 of the cup of mayonnaise for 1/2 cup of light sour cream and 1/4 cup of plain fat free yogurt. I left everything else the same, and it turned out quite good, just a little less thick. It is only 1 WW point for 1/8th of a cup that way.

Honestly, I was disappointed by this recipe. I was really excited to find it because the Baja sauce at Taco Bell is one of my favorites, but this sauce just wasn't it. It didn't taste bad by any means, but I was hoping it would taste more like the original.

This sauce it just what I needed to put on my burritos! I changed it just a bit: I used sour cream instead of mayo and added an extra pinch of garlic salt and a dash of crushed red pepper flakes. It has just the right amount of heat.
