This quick and easy Lime Crema is the perfect marriage of cool, creamy goodness and the bright zing of freshly squeezed lime. One taste, and you’ll find yourself slathering it on just about everything!
Drizzle it over grilled meats, use it as a zesty salad dressing, or add a dollop to your favorite dishes (we highly recommend pairing it with rice made using Moxie Taco Seasoning—OMG, it’s a flavor explosion!).
With its vibrant green hue from lime zest and cilantro, this sauce not only looks stunning but is endlessly customizable. Want a garlicky kick? Add an extra clove. Not a fan of cilantro? Skip it! Prefer a tangier punch? Squeeze in more lime juice. Love lime but want less pucker? Go heavy on the zest.
Make it ahead of time—it stays fresh in the fridge for up to a week—and brighten up meals all week long. Our favorite way to use it? On our easy Tender Fish Tacos or with our Chicken Taco Soup!
