What are some creative ways to add a zing or spice up sour cream to use on tacos?
I am cooking ground beef tacos tonight and want to enhance the flavor of the sour cream. I have some limes and fresh cilantro at home so I was thinking of mixing up something. Does anyone have any ideas? I am open to anything at this point.

Perhaps add some pico de gallo seasoning to the sourcream. It adds a nice kick to it.

A bit of lime and some cayenne pepper sounds great; just make sure you don’t use to much juice as the sour cream will curdle.

If you have put a few drops of Tabasco sauce and stir well then add 1 or two cloves of crushed garlic it gives it a good kick. I do this all the time I also add avocados it makes a good Guacamole

Use the limes and cilantro, add some salsa to it too. Maybe some Tony sacheres…

LOTS of chopped cilantro is always good … If you have any salsa, you can just mix it into the sour cream… or add chili powder, cumin, cracked red pepper and a little tabasco … don’t forget the sliced avocados and chopped tomatoes too!

I’ve mixed the sour cream with cilantro and lime juice, and it tastes great.
Another idea is to put the sourcream in a food processor with one or two chipotle peppers and a touch of the adobo sauce they come packed in..spicy, but yummy.
I remember seeing someone on foodnetwork adding cilantro and 2 tbs. of tequila to 1 cup sour cream…mmm..tequila

Use the cilantro, a little bit of the lime juice and throw in some sazon seasoning.

you could add some chili power or some ground cumin. That may add a nice flavor; and color as well.
