Instructions

Combine the sour cream, lime zest, fresh lime juice, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Tip: Keep the sour cream container and reuse it for leftover lime crema! Just be sure to label the container so you don’t mistake it for plain sour cream later.
Whisk together to combine the ingredients well. Other than the zest, you don’t want any clumps in the sauce.
Refrigerate the lime crema until it’s time to serve, at least 15 minutes. This will give the flavors time to develop.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
