This tasty cilantro lime crema recipe is easy to make, keto friendly, and works so well with everything from tacos, to burritos, to enchiladas, and more!
With Cinco de Mayo on the horizon, I knew I needed to step up my game and get some Mexican food on the blog. Looking back, it seems like forever since I posted any which, for me, is crazy to think of.
I used to make Mexican food 2 to 3 times a week and if you search the blog you will find a TON of Mexican inspired recipes.
I just can't help it. I am addicted to it! I grew up in Southern California so Mexican food is all but in my blood.
Butttttttttttt I now live with someone that isn't a huge fan, so I just don't make it as much as I used to. Ha, just wait for the next week or two, that will change! I may be gorging myself on leftovers, but I will be a happy happy girl!!
I decided to start at the beginning.
You gotta have a good sauce for your food right?
I mean when you BBQ you need your sauces right?
Italian food too!
And Mexican food is same.
There is the chipotle mayo and Hatch green chile sauces I used for these Crispy Chipotle Shrimp Burritos, the cheesy chile sauce for this Poblano Chicken, or the amazzzzzzing avocado cream sauce on these Chicken Enchiladas, a good sauce can make or break a Mexican dish.
This is a sauce that I have used for soooooo many different dishes.
It is awesome with burritos, tostadas, enchilada, and tacos, and it couldn't be any simpler to make. I love food that you don't have to work hard for don't you? I would much rather be feeding my face than chopping ingredients for 30 minutes!
Plus, this sauce can cross over to other cuisines. It works really well with Asian dishes.
I use it with fish or stir it into rice (or better yet, quinoa), and I have been working on some fusion style food.
Hint hint, wait until you see what I have in store for you on Sunday. Hellooooooooooooo major yumminess! This works really good as a dip for veggies too!
Add a bit of jalapeno if you want a little kick.
