Instructions
- 1
Make the pico de gallo: combine the diced tomatoes, diced onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a mixing bowl and toss to combine. Set aside at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the recipe — the flavors will sharpen as it sits.
- 2
Make the avocado crema: add the avocado flesh, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, salt, and water to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and pourable, about 30–45 seconds, scraping down the sides once. The crema should be thick enough to coat a spoon but thin enough to drizzle. Set aside.
