How to Make Mexican Sour Cream (6 Steps)
Sour cream and Mexican food go hand-in-hand. Tart and thick, sour cream imbues many popular Mexican dishes such as fajitas, tostadas, tamales and burritos with additional dimensions of flavor and texture. Common sour cream, like that found in American grocery stores, will suffice, however, Mexican sour cream (crema agria) is richer and creamier. Use homemade Mexican sour cream for Mexican dishes as well as for soup, baked potatoes, desserts, pasta sauces, and dips.
