This avocado sauce is so delicious and easy to make. You just need a couple of ingredients and a food processor/blender. You can use it as a taco sauce, wrap sauce, or as a dipping sauce for quesadillas. It’s thick and creamy but also tangy and refreshing.

Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make avocado sauce:

Labeled ingredients for avocado sauce.
  • avocado – make sure it’s ripe
  • sour cream – you can also use Greek yogurt instead but you may need to add a little bit more lime juice to the sauce
  • garlic – I’m using a small amount of fresh garlic and dried
  • fresh cilantro – you can use leaves and stems
  • lime juice – for a tangy and refreshing sauce, lime’s sourness may vary so add it to your taste, you can also use lemon juice here but lime juice is better, please use just freshly squeezed juice!
  • milk – just to thin out the sauce, you can also use water
  • you could also add a deseeded jalapeno to this sauce for some heat

How to make avocado sauce step by step

Ingredients for avocado sauce in a food processor. Avocado sauce in a food processor.

Peel the avocado and remove the pit.

Add all the ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth. You can also use a hand/immersion blender.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!

You can adjust it to your taste by adding more lime juice or its consistency by adding more milk/water (but if you’re planning to use it for wraps, it can’t be too thin or your wraps will be mushy).

Serving suggestions

Storage

Cover the sauce immediately with plastic foil – it should touch the surface of the sauce to prevent browning. After a day or two, the surface of the sauce will brown a little but the flavor stays the same. Keep it for up to 3 days in the fridge.
