Creamy, avocado sauce seasoned lightly with salt, pepper, and lime is one of the simplest recipes I’ve made this year and yet, it stands out as truly amazing.
If you trust me on nothing else, take my word on this recipe, and buy a couple of avocados as soon as possible.
Avocado Sauce
If you like guacamole but occasionally find yourself in the need of something with a smoother texture, Avocado Cream Sauce is the recipe you need. It reminds me a little of the taste you get when your guacamole mixes with sour cream in a burrito or taco.
Tangy, smooth, and rich without being heavy, avocado cream sauce is one of my new favorite things.
It pairs well with Mexican and Southwestern Flavors along with just about any kind of meat. Drizzled on top or used as a dipping sauce, there’s no limit to the number of ways you can serve this avocado cream sauce.
Avocado Sauce for Tacos
On top of being completely delicious, this sauce couldn’t be any easier to make. Simply pop two peeled ripe avocados in a blender with sour cream, lime juice, and garlic and blend until smooth.
If you prefer, you can also use Greek yogurt in the avocado cream sauce instead of sour cream. I’ve tried the sauce both ways and enjoyed them equally. If you’re using Greek yogurt just be sure to use a variety that’s both plain AND unsweetened.
I garnished the finished sauce with freshly chopped cilantro leaves but it’s absolutely not necessary. The finished sauce is delicious served just as is.
This sauce stores in well in the fridge for up to two days as long as it’s covered tightly with plastic wrap.
Whenever we make avocado cream sauce it never seems to last long enough to have leftovers to worry about. We ate each and every last drop of the sauce each time I made it.
Avocado Crema
Equal parts tangy and creamy with a velvety texture, this sauce could also be called “Avocado Crema” if you’re feeling fancy.
Whatever you call it, this sauce is absolutely finger-licking fantastic. The next two recipes I share are going to feature the ultimate meats for dipping into what’s sure to be your new favorite avocado sauce.
