Make the avocado crema: add the avocado flesh, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, salt, and water to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth and pourable, about 30–45 seconds. If the crema is too thick to drizzle, add water 1 tsp at a time and blend again. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
