How to Make Avocado Sauce Recipe

A nearby Mexican restaurant to me makes the most delicious avocado sauce, and OMG, I asked the manager about it, and he told me how to make it, gave me the ingredient list and everything. Now I make it all the time. It’s perfect for tacos and chips and all sorts of items where a great-tasting sauce is needed! I just love when someone is willing to share a good recipe, don’t you 🤣…you know I’ll share all my recipe with you.

California avocado season is May thru Oct. I really prefer the flavor and texture, but avocados come from other regions as well and Mexico is a large producer of avocados.

What Is Avocado Sauce?

Avocado sauce is a smooth, creamy condiment that combines the fresh flavor of avocado with tangy ingredients for a delicious dip or topping. This version uses avocado, tomatillos, lime juice, scallions, yogurt, and sour cream for a creamy texture with a little zip.

You can serve it with tortilla chips, spoon it over tacos, or thin it with a little water to make an easy avocado salad dressing. It’s a versatile sauce that adds fresh flavor to everything from appetizers to everyday meals.

Ingredients for Avocado Sauce

• 2 ripe avocados, pitted and scooped out
• 1 tomatillos, outer husk removed and diced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 3 scallions
• ½ cup plain yogurt
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons diced green chiles or ½ fresh jalapeño for a spicier sauce
• Fresh cilantro, optional
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Avocado Sauce

1. Add the avocados, tomatillos, lime juice, scallions, plain yogurt, sour cream, green chiles or jalapeño, and optional cilantro to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. For a thinner consistency, suitable for salad dressing, add a little water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. The lime juice and sour cream help maintain the sauce’s flavor and color.

Tips for Serving and Storing Avocado Sauce

For the best flavor, use ripe avocados that give slightly when gently pressed but are not mushy. Blend the ingredients until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little water or extra lime juice until it is easy to drizzle.

Serve avocado sauce with tortilla chips, tacos, quesadillas, grilled chicken, or fresh vegetables.

You can also spoon it over salads or use it as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy it within 1 to 2 days for the freshest flavor and best color.
