Joan says
We don’t like sour cream, and I can’t stand yogurt. Can we just use mayonnaise?
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Joan, I’ve never made it without sour cream or yogurt, but without one of those, it’s really just flavored mayo as opposed to a sauce. If you think you’ll enjoy that on your tacos that go ahead and omit.
Shelley says
