Look for crema, the Mexican version of sour cream, in Mexican markets or the international aisle of most supermarkets. You could also thin sour cream with 1/2 teaspoon lime juice.

I've made this recipe many times over the years. Great on a busy work night. I usually just use some low-fat sour cream in place of the crema. You don't even miss the cheese!

This is a great weeknight meal especially for warm weather. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill. I liked mine with extra lime.
