Torchy's Poblano Sauce Recipe

Torchy’s Tacos is one of my favorite restaurants and I love their poblano sauce the most among all their foods. This green sauce is the perfect accompaniment to tacos, burritos, nachos, and even chips. It has a creamy texture with a slight tanginess from the lime juice and poblano pepper that makes it so delicious. Eventually, it is very easy to make at home. But the restaurant never discloses its recipe. But I can help.
