Avocado Sauce for Fish Tacos

This Avocado Crema is the perfect sauce for fish tacos. It features avocado, sour cream, cilantro and jalapeño.

The tangy and creamy sauce with a hint of spice brings all the flavors of a fish taco together. Try it with my halibut fish tacos paired with mango salsa.

Serving suggestions

This creamy avocado sauce is wonderful with fish tacos. It adds a ton of flavor, texture and a hint of heat.

I also served this crema with a rice bowl with some grilled chicken and pickled onions.

Storage

This avocado crema keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days stored in a jar with a lid. Don't skip the lime in the recipe or the sauce can oxidize and turn brown.
