Avocado Crema Recipe (perfect with tacos!)

1. Can I make avocado crema ahead of time?

Yes! You can make it up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent browning.

2. How do I keep avocado crema from going brown?

Adding enough lime juice helps prevent browning. Also, storing it with a piece of cling film directly touching the surface keeps oxygen out.

3. Can I freeze avocado crema?

It’s best fresh, but you can freeze it in a sealed container for up to 1 month. The texture may change slightly, so stir well after defrosting.

4. What can I use instead of yogurt?

You can swap in sour cream, crème fraîche, or a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt or cashew cream.

5. Is avocado crema spicy?

Not by default, but you can add a pinch of chilli flakes or a small jalapeño if you want a bit of heat.

6. What should I serve avocado crema with?

It’s great on tacos, burrito bowls, grilled meats, fish, roasted veg, or even as a dip with tortilla chips.

7. Can I make it without a blender?

Yes! Just mash everything with a fork or use a stick blender. It won’t be as silky, but it’ll still taste delicious.
