In a mixing bowl, combine creme fraiche and half the salsa (to taste; reserve remaining for quesadillas). Set aside. Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the salsa. Kids want to help? With supervision, have them help prepare the crema. -

Break up meat until no pink remains and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes.Kids not a fan of extra heat?
