Silky Smooth Avocado Crema
Silky smooth and luxuriously creamy, Avocado Crema provides a rich and cooling contrast to spicy dishes. It’s a perfect complement to Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes such as quesadillas, tacos, nachos, and burrito bowls.
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Keep chilled
Notes
- You can use Greek yogurt or Mexican Crema (the Mexican version of Crème Fraiche) in place of the sour cream. Click the links for recipes to make your own.
- For a 5-minute Greek yogurt, spoon regular yogurt onto a clean dishtowel that is folded in half. Cover with another dish towel that is folded in half. Let rest for 5 minutes while the excess liquid is absorbed into the towel. Lift off the top towel and scrape up the thickened yogurt.
