Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

16 oz sour cream
2 big limes, about 2 1/4″ diameter
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Empty sour cream into a small bowl and set aside.
  • Roll the limes on the counter for about a minute each to loosen up the juices.
  • Zest both limes, ensuring you are ONLY getting the green part of the peel and not the white part.
  • Cut the limes through the middle (horizontal) and using a juicer, get all the juice out.
  • Add all the zest, juice, granulated garlic and salt to the sour cream and whisk well to combine. Place in the refrigerator until it's time to serve. Note that letting the lime crema sit for at least 4 hours helps the flavors to meld together better, but you can enjoy it right away too.
  • Store leftover lime crema in the original sour cream container and label it!

ZESTY CHIPOTLE LIME CREMA



Zesty Chipotle Lime Crema image

I love this combination of ingredients and have used them before in an aioli . I was inspired by a couple of other recipes to mix them in sour cream instead to make a delicious crema. This makes a delicious topping for tacos, enchilada's or anything else you want to add some pizzaz to! One chipotle is plenty spicy for us, add more to your personal taste.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sour cream
1 -2 chipotle chile in adobo
1 -2 garlic clove
1 lime, juice of
lime zest

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl with an immersion blender or in a regular blender. Make sure all ingredients have fully blended, no lumps. Serve or chill for later - will thicken slightly.
  • Notes:.
  • This is a recipe that really flexes to personal taste.
  • Add a little zest unless you like a lot - then add more.
  • Start with juice from half the lime , one garlic and one chipotle, ziz it up, then add what you like more of - I like 1 chipotle, 2 garlic and juice from the whole lime and zest from half a lime, but lime sizes vary greatly and so does how much juice you get. You want a tangy, garlicky crema with some pow from the chipotle.
