Up Your Vegan Game with this Dairy Free Avocado Sauce for Tacos
I almost never make vegan tacos without this Vegan Avocado Crema accompaniment. A combination of savory cashew cream, citrusy lime juice and ripe avocados this creamy avocado sauce makes taco Tuesday a weekly celebration.
As it turns out though, this avocado lime crema makes an equally good dipping sauce for vegan appetizers like my Air Fryer Tex Mex Eggrolls. It’s easy to make, taking only a few minutes to combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender. The only somewhat lengthy time requirement is pre-soaking the cashews to create the cream sauce.
How to Make this Vegan Avocado Crema Recipe
Traditional avocado crema recipes rely on sour cream for their rich texture. This vegan recipe swaps sour cream out with cashew cream, a simple blend of cashews and water.
From there, it requires only the addition of ripe avocados, salt, freshly squeezed lime juice, fresh cilantro and garlic. Throw it all in a high-speed blender and voila! – the perfect dairy free avocado sauce.
