I could literally eat this sauce on anything. When I made this, I had some leftover salmon in the fridge and I put a big dollop of this on top of that salmon and ate it for lunch. It was a little bit of a strange combo, but still delicious.

This sauce goes perfectly on tacos. My personal favorite is on shrimp tacos. It also goes fantastic on enchiladas, nachos, quesadillas and even burgers. Try it on my green chicken enchilada recipe, which is a total crowd pleaser and super easy to prep.

Why You Will Love This Recipe:

  • My avocado cream recipe only takes 5 minutes to prep
  • This recipe is filled with tangy, fresh ingredients
  • It goes great on so many different foods and is the perfect way to elevate the traditional sour cream topping
How long does avocado cream sauce stay good in the fridge?

It will stay good for 2 days. If it looks like the color is a bit off, just give it a good stir before serving.

Can I use a substitute for the sour cream?

If you don't like sour cream, use plain greek yogurt instead. All good!

The Ingredients for Avocado Cream Sauce

Avocado- The star of this sauce and makes the final product so delicious and creamy

Sour Cream- produces the perfect tangy flavor

Lime- for a sour bite

Cilantro- For freshness (I love cilantro and parsley for their ability to make any dish taste elevated in fresh flavor)

Garlic, Cumin, and Salt- An excellent flavor combination

How to Make Avocado Cream Sauce

Begin by roughly chopping the garlic clove and cilantro. Slice the lime and avocado in half.

Into a food processor or blender, add in the sour cream, avocado, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and salt.

Pulse a few times, then place on high for 30 seconds until throughly blended.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Now, load this sauce up on everything you ever loved.
