Zesty Chipotle Lime Crema

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.

1 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    Notes:.
  3. 3
    This is a recipe that really flexes to personal taste.
  4. 4
    Add a little zest unless you like a lot - then add more.
  5. 5
    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.

Wow! This really has some zip! I used 1 chipotle with about a tablespoon of the adobe sauce, 1 garlic clove and the juice of the whole lime. Served with some salsa and chips. Very easy to put together.
