Crema Mexicana (Mexican-Style Sour Cream)

With a pourable consistency and a creamy, slightly tangy flavor, Crema Mexicana is a staple in our household. Similar to American sour cream or French crème fraîche, this delectable condiment is perfect for drizzling onto any number of Mexican dishes for a bit of added richness. Made with just three ingredients and a few minutes of prep, it's also completely attainable for any home cook!
