Make the pico: combine the diced tomatoes, white onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt. 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, jalapeño, garlic, and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time until the crema is thick but pourable — it should fall off a spoon in a slow, steady ribbon. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside.
