Avocado Lime Crema Recipe with Yogurt

Last Updated on July 5, 2022 by Rebecca Huff

My avocado lime crema is a simple condiment that makes your favorite tex-mex tastier. Makes boring tacos more exciting and adds the wow-factor to anything on which it is drizzled, dolloped, or poured.

What is avocado lime crema?

While most people would consider Avocado Lime Crema a condiment; we sometimes use this one like a dip.  For example, in place of guacamole with chips or cut vegetables.

Because this condiment is made with yogurt instead of sour cream it contains probiotics. I appreciate that my kids are getting a good dose of probiotics with the yogurt along with the healthy fats from the avocado.

How to make

When I shared my Thai Chicken Tacos with Beet Infused Pickled Onions recipe, a friend asked: “what is avocado lime crema?” So, while this recipe is very simple, it's nice to know exactly how to whip some up to make all your meals magical.

Because avocado = magic.

Avocados tends to go brown pretty quickly. There are a couple of ways you can keep this fresh longer, but I recommend making it right before you serve the dish.

• I have tried adding a lime wedge to the leftovers in a jar which kept beautifully until I could finish it off
• Put an avocado pit in with the crema in a jar
• Keep the avocado lime crema in a squeeze bottle, (filled to the top preferably)

Make it thick and dollop it on salmon or chicken, make it thin and drizzle it on tacos or enchiladas. No matter what you pour it on, it makes everything yummier.
