- This cream is also great on wraps, tortilla soup or chili.
- Also, I used Greek yogurt, but you can use sour cream.

That looks like a piece of my pottery!
I got this locally at Midnite Pottery. What’s your pottery? Do you have a site or FB page that I can look?
Lime crema for tacos. The recipe doesn’t match the pictures nor the recipe name. What happened? It talks about Greek yogurt or sour cream but the recipe contains a whole pineapple and jalapenos.
oh my goodness, I got 2 recipes mixed up. Corrected now. Thank you!
I just don’t get it, sorry. The recipe says “Also, I used Greek yogurt, but you can use sour cream” but I can see nothing in the recipe. I’d be grateful if you’d advise the amount, and when it’s added? Thank you
So sorry, Autumn, I had the incorrect recipe listed. it’s corrected now.
