Make the avocado crema: scoop the avocado flesh into a blender or food processor. Add the sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides once, until the crema is pourable and uniform in color with no visible chunks. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Set aside.
