Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (160g) sour cream or Mexican crema if you can find it
- ½ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
- 1 garlic clove finely chopped
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- Pinch of Kosher salt
Instructions
- Make the cilantro lime crema. If making in a blender, place ⅔ cup (160g) sour cream or Mexican crema, ½ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, 1 garlic clove, lime zest and juice, and a pinch of Kosher salt in the bowl of a blender, then process until very smooth. Otherwise, whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Notes
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers airtight up to 5 days (crema keeps well in a squeeze bottle).
- Tips: Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Greek yogurt can replace sour cream, though the sauce will be thicker and tangier.
