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.
