Roasted Poblano Lime Crema | Three Olives Branch | www.threeolivesbranch.comThese Frontera® Skillets are perfect for a Mexican meal made at home, inspired by restaurants, for a dinner party with friends.  They have five different options to pick from.  I found this sauce to be amazing with the Frontera® Carnitas Taco Skillet because it shared a lot of the same flavors in poblano peppers and lime mixed in with the slow-cooked pork and tangy tomatillos.  We also love the Frontera® Veggie Taco Skillet, full of crunchy green beans, fire-roasted peppers, sweet potatoes, and tender plantains in an ancho chile tomato sauce!  These meals use authentic Mexican ingredients and flavors through time-honored cooking methods.  Taco night with friends is quick, simple, and easy with these kits and everyone can get something they love!

Roasted Poblano Lime Crema | Three Olives Branch | www.threeolivesbranch.comTo 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.  Once they are resting, I get the Frontera® Skillets cooking.  When the skillets are cooking, 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!

Ingredients

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,
      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!
