Grilled Chili Scallion Crema

Grilled Chili Scallion Crema is cool crema punctuated with the light heat of grilled chili, sweetness of grilled scallions and accented with cilantro and mint. This is not your everyday side of crema! While we enjoy the Mexican culinary use of providing crema on the side with grilled meats, we also find it just a bit bland. We jazzed up this blank canvas with subtle flavors to add depth and color; it’s so good, you may find yourself enjoying it all on its own. Serve Grilled Chili Scallion Crema with Mexican Chorizo and Beef Meatloaf for a colorful dinner of bold yet subtle flavors.

Prep Time: 5 minutes, Total Time: 30 minutes.

Yields approximately 1 ¼ cups of Grilled Chili Scallion Crema.

Onion Cilantro Salsa and Pico de Gallo

Who doesn’t like freshly-made salsas? Our Onion Cilantro Salsa and Pico de Gallo really hit the spot with their fresh flavors and colors. Onion Cilantro Salsa with its sharp edge of raw onion tamed by fresh lime juice and cool cilantro is so delicious both in taste and simplicity. Pico de Gallo is a classic mix of fresh tomatoes, herbs, lime juice and chili; it’s so good that it begs you to take a pinch with you index finger and thumb and taste it, hence its name. Taken together, they complement each other to both the eye and palate. Onion Cilantro Salsa and Pico de Gallo are perfect with Carnitas, grilled steak, chops and chicken, and pretty much whatever you’d like to pair them with. Enjoy!
