How to make the Crema

Avocado Lime Crema

To make Avocado Crema, scoop out Avocado and mix it with Yogurt or Sour Cream. Add salt & pepper to it. Also, add some lemon juice and just 1 teaspoon of honey to it to balance out all the sourness. Give all of this a good mix and serve with the Tacos.

I like to serve my Cauliflower Tinga Tacos with this Avocado Crema because the perfect lime and honey taste to balance out the spicy flavors of Tinga Tacos.
