I thought I'd share my latest unexpectedly delicious food discovery...Cacique Crema Mexican Agria! We have tacos a lot and usually just use regular sour cream. But this week on a whim I thought I'd pick up some of this stuff to try instead. It was DELICIOUS! Much tastier, smoother, and creamier than regular sour cream. I highly recommend it!



Anyone else have any surprisingly yummy recommendations to share?
 
Is it sold only in Mexican supermarkets or available in Ralphs/Vons/Albertsons? Is it actually sour cream? How did you use it, as a dip for chips or something else?

Wait... so are you saying this is a Mexican Bird Sour Cream? Hmm... doesn't sound as appetizing translated.

I got it at Albertson's. And it was on sale!



I used it as a topping for the tacos the other night. Also, tonight I added it to my burrito from Baja Fresh. It is sour cream but it tastes different, somehow.
 
Esquites, as most of the Antojitos, is a very versatile dish. You may eat the whole cooked corn on a stick, or shaved off the cob, cooked and seasoned and served in a cup. Then, you can dress it up or dress it down according to your mood, with the traditional and complementing garnishes of mayonnaise or Mexican cream, crumbled salty Cotija or aged cheese, lime juice, salt and ground dried chile piqu?n.

I'm not big on Hummus but I tried the Mediterranean Hummus at Trader Joes and never looked back. Very rich, creamy, and delicious and relatively healthy.



Eat it as a vegetable dip or with Pita Chips almost every day now... My favorite is to buy a bag of those mini sweet peppers from Costco (for like $3) and dip them in the Hummus - lasts about 2 weeks and costs around $7 for everything...



Also one more that comes to mind is the complimentary dinner rolls and butter at Lonestar Steakhouse... Those things are awesome.

I also like the mini sweet peppers (alone or with hummus). Sometimes I stuff them with cheese and toss them in the oven for a few minutes.
