Mexican Crema Agria

This is a must have in Mexican cuisine. We use it on street corn, chicharrones  preparados, enchiladas, tacos dorados, nachos and more. The flavors come together when you add crema agria (sour cream).

For me it was important to prepare the foods from my heritage which I love. It is not easy to recreate all the foods, plus there’s the challenge of recreating some of those in a way that fits my healthier dietary needs. 

It took some tweaking and many mistakes until I finally had the perfect Mexican crema agria  for my dishes. It is even approved by my husband and children. I won’t post a recipe until it’s perfect.

Thank you and enjoy!

Here is what my mom would always say to me:

La comida hecha con amor, sabe mejor.

The food that is made with love,   taste better.
