Sour cream is not French creme fraiche, which, although similar, remain thick cream. Although fresh cream has a sourness, this is a very subtle difference from fresh cream. Ordinary sour cream is really sour (when compared with cream), but silky and soft to the taste.
How to choose Sour Cream?
Chefs most often choose an average value of 20-25% fat content – this is the optimal balance of low calorie content and suitable consistency, which is suitable for both cold and hot dishes. The secret is that the low-fat mixture collapses under the influence of high temperatures. Therefore, if recipes with sour cream involve heat treatment, it is better to choose a sufficient minimum.
A low-fat mixture is enough for dressing vegetable salads, soups, making quick sauces and gravy potato pancakes. Pasty sour cream is needed for whipping cream for cakes, making desserts, mousses, fruit salads, for baking in the oven, stewing meat, fish, mushrooms and vegetables. Sour cream is also used instead of mayonnaise, pancakes are kneaded on sour cream, and additionally it is used to prepare cold sauces to roast or poultry meat.
How to cook Sour Cream?
In any recipe where you want to bake something under mayonnaise, the latter can be replaced with fatty sour cream with the addition of salt and a drop of wine vinegar. Fat thick sour cream is better suited for whipping with sugar, for creams and dip sauces (for dipping). Liquid sour cream is better suited for stewing, for sauces and gravies.

Fajitas is one of the most popular and traditional Mexican dishes. Fajitas are not just fried meat in a tortilla (corn tortilla), but also necessarily a traditional set of side dishes or sauces: black bean paste, rice with Mexican spices, Pico de Gallo sauce and sour cream. Meat, beans and rice are cooked with traditional Mexican spices: cumin, oregano and, of course, seasoned with lime juice. You can’t do without onions and hot peppers in this kitchen either. All these ingredients harmoniously complement each other and create a unique flavor of Mexican cuisine. Traditionally, rather cheap and not very soft pieces of beef are used for fajitas: peritoneum, sides and tenderloin (barrel, round, skirt, London broil, etc.). Therefore, it is very important for fajitas to cut the meat into very thin strips – across the fibers. In order for the meat to fry and remain juicy, cook them over very high heat. Of course, no one will forbid you to cook fajitas from more expensive steak chops: thick edge, thin edge, shackles, cereals and rump, and, of course, fillets. Although, in this case, it will not be quite a traditional fajita.
