Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado
- ½ cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 1 large lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 clove garlic (peeled)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Scoop the avocado into a blender or food processor. Add the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, garlic, and salt.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed. Add 1 tablespoon of water if you'd like it thinner.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more lime juice or a pinch more salt if needed.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a ripe avocado for the smoothest texture.
- Add water one tablespoon at a time to thin the crema for drizzling.
- Store tightly covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Greek yogurt makes it tangier; sour cream makes it richer.
