Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 2-3 tbsp water or as needed for desired consistency
Instructions:
- Prepare the Avocado Base: Place the avocado flesh in a blender or food processor. Add the sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, and garlic.
- Add Seasonings: Toss in the cilantro and cumin if using. Sprinkle a pinch of salt to taste.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add water, a tablespoon at a time, to adjust the consistency if needed. The crema should be thick yet pourable.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the lime juice, salt, or seasonings to your preference.
