Zesty Chipotle Lime Crema Recipe #373230
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.

5 min | 5 min prep
1 cup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1-2 chipotle chiles in adobo
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- 1 lime, juice of
- lime zest
- 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.
