Crema is the sour cream dressing used for drizzling on tacos, tostadas, or just about anything where a little creamy, limey goodness would be a benefit.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup Whipping Cream
- 1 Tbsp Lime Juice
- Salt, Pepper, Lime Zest, Chipotle in Adobo To taste
Instructions
- Mix the Yogurt or Sour Cream, Whipping Cream and Lime Juice in a bowl. The longer this sits, the thicker it will get. You could leave this out, covered, at room temperature for an hour.
- You can leave it plain, but it's even more delicious if you season it up with a pinch of salt, a little lime zest, and just a little Chipotle in adobo, finely minced, about 1/4 teaspoon to start. Be sure to taste and adjust to your own palate -- I like to add quite a bit of everything, but you many want it milder.
- You can use this concept to make low-fat creamy salad dressing by using low or no-fat yogurt or sour cream, and no-fat creamer or evaporated milk. Add chives and dill, and it's almost like Ranch Dressing. Keep the batch small -- it won't have the keeping power of bottled commercial dressing.
