This Roasted Poblano Lime Crema is made using roasted poblano peppers, lime juice, and sour cream for a simple and flavorful sauce that is perfect with your favorite Mexican meals.
I love using this sauce on so many different Mexican food meals. It is fast and simple to make which makes it perfect even for simple meals and entertaining. The sauce is vegetarian, low carb keto, and gluten free which makes it versatile.
To make the Roasted Poblano Lime Crema, get the peppers in the oven on the top rack and broil them on both sides until the peppers are charred. When done, put them in a bag or container and let them sit for the skins to start peeling off.Â
Peel the peppers, chop them, and place them in a food processor or blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until you have the consistency you want, and you have a flavorful sauce ready to go!

Roasted Poblano Lime Crema
Ingredients
- 4 large poblano peppers (approximately 1 pound)
- 1 1/2 limes juiced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Place the peppers on the top rack of your oven. Broil the peppers until the skin is charred, approximately 5 minutes.
- Flip the peppers and char the second side. When both sides are charred, remove them from the oven and place them in a sealed plastic bag (such as the one you got them in from the grocery store) or a sealed tupperware container. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes as the steam will make it easier to remove the skins.
- Peel the skin off of the peppers. You do not need to remove all of it, but get most off. Remove the stems and seeds.
- Roughly chop the peppers and place in a food processor or blender. Add the lime juice and salt. Process until the peppers are blended to your preferred consistency. Add the sour cream and blend briefly again to combine.
Hi Is this recipe like the one Torchy’s serves with their Fried Avocado Taco ?? Thanks
Hi,
I actually have not had that taco at Torchy’s. It looks similar, though. I will let you know once I get to try it out, but would also love to hear what you think!
This is such a perfect recipe and idea! I make it all the time with whatever yogurt/sour cream/creme fraiche I happen to have when it’s taco night.
Thanks for posting this!
Wonderful! It is such a great sauce 😀
