Some time ago, my best friend Brianne and I gathered in my kitchen with the goal of creating some easy weeknight recipes that wouldn’t take forever to make and that would be great as leftovers.
This is what we came up with. We hope you enjoy it!
The sour cream mixture is super versatile. Feel free to add in more spices – cumin or Spanish (smoked) paprika would also be awesome.
There really is no order to the layers – if you want to layer it differently, go for it!
The assembly process.
I had to take a scoop. Its super creamy and perfectly fresh.
This was our first slice – delish! You’ll definitely want more…so just double the recipe!
much love!
