Cilantro Crema

From: EatingWell Magazine, March/April 2008
Turn an ordinary taco into something special with this creamy, herb-studded sauce in place of plain sour cream. It's traditionally made with Mexican crema, a tangy-sweet cultured cream; if it's available in your area, it can be used in place of the sour cream.

Amazing Flavor
Our family loved the full flavor of this recipe, with the nice end kick of the serrano pepper. Delicious. A great recipe to play around with, but is fantastic just the way it is.
Pros: Fast, easy, and full of flavor.
Cons: Double the recipe it goes quick
