Mexican crema has about 25% fat, sour cream has about 20% fat, heavy cream is about 36% fat, and creme fraiche has about 48% fat, so I think the consistency is closer to sour cream but the taste is closer to creme fraiche.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-88604843389900998732012-01-31T18:16:32.079-06:002012-01-31T18:16:32.079-06:00Hi Angeline!

Be sure to remove the seeds before adding the chile to the beans. :)Leslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084393882026836564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-41273635931288337942012-01-31T18:15:04.097-06:002012-01-31T18:15:04.097-06:00Yes, they will!

It's what I used to use when I lived in the States. :) <br /><br />@beautyqueen: Any kind of bean will do, especially pintos and/or black beans. The reason I don't mention adding salt until the end of the recipe is because everyone seasons they're beans differently when cooking and canned beans are usually saltier than beans cooked at home.Leslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084393882026836564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-39513615529647330602012-01-09T23:31:38.325-06:002012-01-09T23:31:38.325-06:00I love simple, yet gorgeous dishes!

I'm not sure if we have them here but if we do I'm trying this recipe. I always have tons of beans and need new ideas for what to do with them. How would you describe the Mexican creme? Is it like a sour creme or more like a butter? We have so many different kinds and I don't want to mess it up.Jennifer Reyeshttp://rubireyes-lifeinthearmpit.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-13855912380811580792012-01-09T17:44:12.425-06:002012-01-09T17:44:12.425-06:00@Valarie: Hahahaha!

While I was writing this post, I kept thinking to myself that this is one recipe you wouldn't be commenting on, because I know how much you dislike beans. I wonder if you'd like beans if I baked them into a cake.
