After recently trying avocado cilantro crema for the first time, I can tell you that this stuff is like crack! Several years ago, my husband and I were out exploring a new farm to table restaurant. They had Pommes Frites on the menu which I had never heard of before. You know what Pommes Frites are? Basically it is a fancy word for French fries. And they are DELICIOUS in this avocado dipping sauce!

The amazing thing about these Pommes Frites was not that I had never seen a French fry before. What really amazed me was that you could choose from dozens of dipping sauces for them! And only one of those was a type of ketchup! I love unique dipping sauces for French Fries and when I saw avocado crema on the menu, I was intrigued!

What a nice idea! Time to expand our horizons and know that ketchup is not the only option!
I have been amazed at the dipping sauces some restaurants have come up with lately. This one was delicious!
Made this with my carnitas and it was delicious! I added a little cayenne pepper because I like it a little more spicy.
My husband and son put cayenne in everything! Glad you liked it!
I just made this to put on my chorizo tacos :)! Any idea how long it lasts in the fridge?
I generally don’t like to leave things more than 3 to 4 days. Hope you enjoy!
any way to make it dairy free?
you may be able to swap out the sour cream with a non dairy plain yogurt? But not sure how it would taste
