Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather ⅔ cup sour cream or Mexican crema, ½ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, 1 finely chopped garlic clove, zest and juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of kosher salt.
- Blend the Crema: Place all ingredients into the bowl of a blender and process until the mixture becomes very smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a blender, whisk all ingredients together vigorously until smooth and well combined.

- The crema works wonderfully as a sauce for fish tacos, grilled vegetables, or as a tangy dip.
