Never again will I use plain old sour cream on my Mexican dishes! This was simply delicious! I know that the recipe says that the sauce is for fish tacos, but I had some leftover taco meat from last night's dinner, so I used it on ground beef. Thanks for a great idea Bev!

Excellent, Bev. I substituted key lime juice and added just a little zest. Normally I use these ingredients (crema, cilantro, lime) separately, but they make a nice color when blended. I added some whole cilantro leaves as a last-minute garnish. I served it in a cabbage taco sprinkled with red pepper flakes as I didn't have any fish! Normally, I would grill the fish instead of batter frying.

This was good, however, my husband found it to taste like too much cilantro and my mother in law doesn't like lemon with her fish.

This would be great with just about any mexican or seafood dish! I added salt.

Was perfect over our grilled fish tacos. My 3 yo son helped whip it up in a flash. Thanks
