Description
A creamy and flavorful avocado crema perfect for tacos, salads, and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 avocado
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ cup water (add 1 Tbsp at a time)
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Remove the avocado flesh from the skin and give it a rough chop.
- Add all the ingredients except the water including lime juice, avocado, Greek yogurt, cilantro, garlic, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and add more salt to taste.
- If you want a thinner consistency, add a Tbsp of water at a time until it reaches the consistency you desire. If you go beyond 4 Tbsp (1/4 c) of water and still want it to be thinner, I suggest adding 1-2 Tbsp of avocado oil.
- I like a thinner crema so I add about 1/4 c of water.
Notes
- This crema can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
- Experiment with herbs like parsley for a different flavor.
