Ok so basically this is fancy sour cream and it’s delicious! I’ll spare you the long intro but this is yummy and easy to make and those are the things I am looking for when it comes to making food. This recipe allows you to make something simple like a beans, rice, tomato bowl and amp it up with a dollop of this and some lime juice!
