- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1 large bunch cilantro just the leaves, stems discarded, and washed
- 2 large jalapenos seeded & diced
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 limes juiced
- 1 tsp salt
- pinch sugar optional
Add the sour cream to a disposable 9x13" foil pan, and spread it out into an even layer.
Smoke the sour cream at 180° for 30 minutes.
Remove the sour cream from the smoker and let it cool to room temperature.
Add the smoked cream and all the remaining ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Serve as is, or refrigerate until chilled.
- Want it spicier? Double the jalapenos or add in a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix.
- Make sure you rinse the cilantro well before using it. Sometimes cilantro has a gritty sand on it.
- This is a recipe where you really need to use fresh garlic and lime juice instead of garlic powder and bottled lime juice.
