What it is

How people cook with it

You can use this Mexican style cream straight from the container as a cooling dollop on spicy foods like enchiladas or chili. It also works wonderfully when stirred into warm dishes like soups or stews, adding a creamy richness without curdling easily. For dips, it can be combined with herbs, spices, and other ingredients to create flavorful accompaniments for chips or vegetables. Its thickness also makes it suitable for drizzling over baked potatoes or as a binder in certain casseroles.
