Costco Shoppers Are In Love With This Cilantro-Lime Crema
Your homemade shrimp tacos are about to get a lot more photogenic. Costco's new Cilantro Lime Crema, with a tangy sour-cream base and fresh cilantro and lime, is the vibrant green condiment made for food pics — and, you know, actual food. The Don Pancho-brand sauce is the same one used in the street tacos in Costco's service deli section, the bottle reads. At $7.79 for two 16-ounce bottles, it's likely to last you at least a few rounds of nachos and enchiladas (via Instagram).
Best of all, as Costco fan Instagram account @costcodeals reports, the crema is available in most Costco warehouses nationwide beginning in April. "With 40 calories and two net carbs per serving," it's suitable for keto dieters and carb lovers alike and can be used not only on meat, seafood, or vegetarian tacos, but on other everyday favorites like eggs, potatoes, burgers, and more (via Everyday Health). Grab your two-pack — one for the fridge and one for your purse — and get to drizzling.
Costco fans "could drink" this Cilantro Lime Crema
Actually, the two-pack format seems to be a suggestion to share the sauce with fellow cilantro-lime fans, especially since the packaging suggests finishing the crema within seven days of opening, several commenters pointed out on @costcodeals' post. But as long as you give one bottle to a friend and save the other for an afternoon taco gathering, polishing off the condiment shouldn't be a problem, based on fans' reaction to its taste. "I could drink it, it's that good," commented Instagram user @jessie.shoe. "This stuff is a must have for Mexican food! SOOOOO good!!" @junebugmi chimed in.
If you're looking for more inspiration for how to use Costco's Cilantro Lime Crema, @costcodeals' Instagram post shows the sauce drizzled on thick-cut French fries with cotija cheese and extra cilantro. Slightly spiced with Anaheim chiles, the packaging reads, the condiment would add freshness and zing to grilled corn and seafood, tostadas and quesadillas, and even your ordinary salad or protein bowl.
