Blend the Ingredients: Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro leaves, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and uniformly pale green, scraping down the sides as needed. Add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, blending after each addition until the crema reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Taste and adjust the lime juice and salt as needed.

Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Drizzle over tamales, tacos, enchiladas, or grilled vegetables.
