1/2 t Garlic Powder

1/2 t Cumin Powder

1 t Salt

1 T hot sauce

Cook chorizo loosely in a pan, with a paper towel soak up a little fat. Add salsa and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. 

While chorizo is cooking, in a bowl combine crema, limes, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt and hot sauce. Then crumble queso fresco.
