Notes
- Substitute sour cream with a mix of half mayonnaise and half heavy whipping cream, or use crema mexicana, Greek yogurt, or plain yogurt.
- To reduce tanginess, add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise.
- For extra creaminess, add ½ bar of softened cream cheese to the blender.
- Make it spicy by adding a roasted jalapeño (extra spicy) or roasted poblano pepper (mild spicy) during blending.
- For mild spice, add a can of green chilis to the blender.
