Avocado Lime Crema Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a small jalapeño to the blend.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier flavor and higher protein content.
