Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados
  • 1 cup light sour cream or Mexican crema or Greek yogurt
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled and smashed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or a pinch of sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Pit and scoop the avocados out of their skins. Transfer to a high speed bender, or the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. It's not necessary to cut up the avocados.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the blender with the avocado.
  • Whirl like crazy until you have a smooth and creamy purée.
  • Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container until you're ready to use it. Use within 4 days of making it.
