Equipment
- small bowl
Ingredients
- 8 oz sour cream
- 1/2 lime the juice + 1/8 tsp zest
- 1/2 Tbsp water
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Chipotle seasoning
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk together until fully combined.
Notes
-
- Use water to thin out your crema until it's the consistency you like.
- For zesting the lime, we highly recommend using a Microplane grater.
- The juice from 1/2 a lime = roughly 1 Tablespoon lime juice.
- To drizzle the crema on your food, I recommend making an easy, DIY piping bag. Just take a small Ziploc bag, add some of the crema, seal the bag, and cut a tiny hole on one of the bottom corners. Gently squeeze the bag to release a thin stream of crema from that hole.
- Sprinkle your homemade Chipotle sauce with a fresh herb, like cilantro, to enhance the flavors. Plus, it looks pretty :)
