Equipment

Ingredients

2 avocados pits and skins removed
1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
½ cup cilantro fresh
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a food processor. Turn on and blend the ingredients together until the crema is smooth and consistent.
Use a spatula to transfer the avocado lime crema to a mason jar or other airtight container. Use immediately or store in the fridge.

Notes

If you prefer a spicy crema, you can add ½ seeded jalapeño.
For a smokiness hit to the sauce, roast the jalapeño in a skillet or under the broiler until it is charred. Place the roasted jalapeño in a bowl and cover to sweat the pepper. Peel the skin off the jalapeño and add it to the food processor when making the sauce.
If you don't like cilantro, you can substitute it with parsley, basil, or chives. Each one brings a unique flavor to the crema.
