Make the pico de gallo: combine the diced tomatoes, white onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt as needed, then set aside at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the recipe.

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 but flow off a spoon. Transfer to a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface to prevent browning.
