Recipe Ingredients:

How To Make Avocado Lime Crema?
- Blend everything: Add the avocados, sour cream, milk, cilantro, salt, pepper, lime zest, and lime juice to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Adjust consistency: If you prefer a thinner crema, add a splash of milk or lime juice and blend again.
- Serve & enjoy: Transfer to a serving bowl and use as a dip, drizzle over tacos, or as a creamy topping for grilled meats.
- Store it right: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
Recipe Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Soft, ripe avocados blend better and give the crema a smooth, creamy texture. If your avocados are too firm, let them sit at room temperature for a day or two.
- Blend until extra smooth: For the best consistency, blend long enough to remove any lumps. If needed, add a little extra milk to make it silky smooth.
- Adjust the lime to taste: Love a tangy kick? Add more lime juice. Want it milder? Start with less and adjust as needed.
- Keep it fresh: To prevent browning, store the crema in an airtight container with plastic wrap touching the surface before sealing the lid.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeño if you like a little heat in your crema!
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the avocado lime crema sit at room temperature for a few minutes before storing. Transfer it to an airtight container, pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving.
