Sometimes the simplest sauces are the ones that make all the difference. This four-ingredient cilantro lime cream is exactly that: a quick, no-cook sauce that brings freshness and tang to balance spicy, savory dishes.
Perfect for tacos, especially those with chili-spiced skirt steak, it also works wonderfully as a dip or drizzle for grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables. With just sour cream, lime, cilantro, and green onion, you can whip it up in minutes and let it chill until ready to serve.
