I’m not sure if I am the only one, but I get a bit obsessive over new foods that I have just discovered. This Avocado Cream is my new obsession and I can’t believe I didn’t try it before now. I’ll let you in on a little secret. I don’t like sour cream on it’s own. It there is a dollop on my food (when I go to a restaurant) I will politely scrap it all off and mix any white streaks left over into my food so I can’t see it.
It’s a totally different story if it’s mixed into something. I actually use sour cream frequently in my recipes because I know that it elevates the flavor and creaminess of the dish. Weird, right?!
Another obsession I have is with avocados and guacamole, but I know I’m not the only one there. I was making tacos the other day and only had one avocado. I knew it wasn’t enough for my family so I decided to come up with own recipe for Avocado Cream because I had plenty of sour cream on hand.
It turned out pretty spectacular and it’s a new favorite topping at my house. I also thought it would be great with Southwestern Eggrolls, quesadillas or even yummy served as a dip along with chips and salsa! Give it a try and let me know what you think!
