Here's my latest food experiment: Hoosier Hill sour cream powder
Last winter, when I started prepping for van life, Amazon had a sale on "ReadyMeal" retort meals, so I had bought a lot. Frankly, they've all been "meh", so I decided to buy something to pump 'em up.
Here's a "Santa Fe style steak" pouch beside the sour cream container:

both prepared, ready to eat, on a (store bought) tortilla:

It definitely improved the taste, and added a bit of protein & calcium.
As some of the Amazon reviews mention, there was a moderately odd after taste, but I did not find it bad.
It was easy to prepare just one serving worth, so is ideal for non-refrigerator folks.
It costs about $14 for a pound at Amazon (around $12 if bought as part of a 5 item subscribe & save order).
There were cheaper options, but I like the square space optimizing container, and had wanted to try a Hoosier Hill product.
In a few days, I'll take another picture beside a better scale item and showing the "Nutrition Facts" label.
