Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Simple Avocado Cream Sauce
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Simple Avocado Cream Sauce. Choose ripe avocados without any brown spots for the best creamy texture. Rinse the fresh cilantro and jalapeño, and ensure your lime is juicy and ready.
  2. In a food processor, combine the avocados, fresh cilantro, jalapeño (with seeds removed if you prefer less heat), Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, freshly squeezed lime juice, garlic paste, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Secure the lid.
  3. Blend the mixture on high for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
  4. Taste your sauce and adjust flavors according to your preference. Add more lime juice, honey, or salt and pepper if needed, blending briefly after each addition.
  5. Serve it immediately drizzled over tacos, enchiladas, or as a dip for fresh veggies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
