💡 Notes & Variations

• Substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a lower-calorie, high-protein alternative.
• Crema will naturally thicken when chilled; stir in a splash of fresh lime juice or 1 tsp water to thin out before serving.
• Stores refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
