The Creamiest Avocado Crema For Tacos, Salads, & More
This avocado crema is one of those sauces I always want in the fridge. Creamy, cool, and tangy, it’s made with avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and garlic and comes together in minutes. Drizzle it over Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes, spread it on sandwiches, or use it as a dip or dressing—it’s endlessly useful and naturally gluten-free.
