POBLANO PEPPER CREMA: THE ULTIMATE POBLANO CHEESE DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• Clean and rinse your peppers and cilantro before incorporating them into the recipe.
• Remove the stems from the peppers. Discard the stems.
• To reduce the heat in this recipe, halve the peppers and remove the seeds. If you like spicy quesos like me, simply skip this step.
• Roughly chop ½ of a cilantro bunch, including its stems.
• Halve limes and juice into a ¼ measuring cup.
• Using a blender, food processor, or hand blender, add all the ingedients and blend until smooth.
• Taste the crema and determine whether or not it needs additional salt. If you would like additional salt in this recipe, add it gradually and in small increments to not over salt the dip. If you have over salted the dip, add more lime juice to neutralize the salt.
• Pour the poblano cheese dip into a beautiful serving bowl and enjoy with chips or veggies. Happy dipping!
