Ingredients

Avocado Lime Crema Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados (peeled and pits removed)
  • 4 cloves roasted garlic
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup water (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients and Tools: Make sure you have all the ingredients—ripe avocados, roasted garlic cloves, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and water—along with a blender ready for use.
  2. Prepare Avocados: Wash the avocados thoroughly, peel them, and carefully remove the pits to prepare them for blending.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Place the peeled avocados, sour cream, fresh cilantro leaves, roasted garlic, fresh lime juice, kosher salt, and black pepper into the blender.
  4. Initial Blending: Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all flavors are well incorporated.
  5. Adjust Consistency: Start by adding the 1/4 cup of water as per the recipe, blend again, and then add more water if necessary to achieve a smooth, easily pourable crema that isn’t too thin.
  6. Taste and Season: Sample the crema and adjust the flavor if needed by adding more lime juice for extra acidity or adjusting salt and pepper to your taste preference.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Roasting garlic beforehand adds a mellow, sweet depth compared to raw garlic.
  • Adjust water quantity carefully to avoid making the crema too thin.
  • This crema pairs wonderfully with tacos, grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or as a dip.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the lime juice helps prevent browning.
