Cilantro-Lime Crema Recipe

Our Test kitchen created this light and tangy Cilantro-Lime Crema to pair with our delicious Brisket-and-Black Bean Chili, but it works just as well served alongside almost any chili recipe or spicy stew, or dolloped atop beef, chicken, vegetable, or seafood tacos. Made with sour cream and mayonnaise and flavored with fresh chopped cilantro and fresh lime zest and juice, this crema comes together in one bowl and is an easy way to add a touch of creaminess and brightness to rich and spicy dishes. You can prepare Cilantro-Lime Crema up to two days in advance; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator before serving.
