Cilantro Lime Crema

I’m a big fan of Mexican food, particularly burrito bowls. To me, the best thing about these bowls is that they are usually topped with the zestiest and creamiest cilantro lime crema. I’m not sure why it took me so long, but I just recently started making this at home and when I do, I top just about anything with it and it’s now a staple on taco nights. If you have the ‘soap gene’ and can’t do cilantro, you can substitute parsley instead. While the flavour will be slightly different, it still gives all the zesty and creamy you could ask for.

Ingredients:

1 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Juice from 1 lime

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, or parsley

Directions:

1.) Place all ingredients, except the herbs, into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2.) Add cilantro or parsley and pulse until the mixture is smooth but green flakes are still visible.

3.) Serve and enjoy!
