Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 large avocado*
- 1/4 cup sour cream (try our easy 4 Ingredient Sour Cream!)*
- 1 lime, juiced (about 2 tbsp)
- Sprinkle of salt
- 2–3 tbsp cold water to thin (add more or less as desired)
*Ingredients you need that are not part of our pantry and freezer tips.
Instructions
- Slice your avocado in half lengthwise. If only using half the avocado, use the half without the pit and store the other half with the pit intact. You can rub some lime juice on the exposed flesh and store it in a container with a lid or something like a vegetable wrap to slow the browning. *If your avocado is quite small, I would suggest using the whole avocado for this recipe.
- If removing the pit, gently squeeze the sides of the avocado to loosen it (or carefully strike the pit with a knife so the knife lodges in the pit and then twist to dislodge it and pull it up).
- Use a spoon to trace the edges of the halved avocado and scoop out the flesh.
- Add the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and salt to your blender and blend until smooth (adding water as needed). The amount of water you use may depend on how thick your sour cream is.
- If you don’t have a blender and your avocado is ripe enough you should be able to mash it by hand and stir in the other ingredients until you reach your desired consistency!
- Best enjoyed immediately but it will last for 1-2 days in the fridge. Make sure to try it on our delicious Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos!
