AVOCADO GREEN SAUCE TIPS:
When choosing avocados for this recipe, make sure they are slightly soft and not overly ripe. You can use regular pickled jalapeños but my favorite is fermented jalapeños. I make my own recipe from Cultured Guru. The fermented jalapeños are delicious and the added health benefits are even better.
FAQ:
How long will the Crema last in the refrigerator?
The Crema should last 2-3 days in the fridge.
How spicy is the Avocado Green Sauce?
This all depends on how spicy your jalapeños are. If they are really spicy, maybe start with 2-3 and go up from there. I find that a slight hint of spice is needed in the recipe. That being said, my kids like it and my youngest does not handle spice well.
PREP AHEAD:
This recipe can be made a day ahead of time and still be fine to use. However, it does taste best the day it is made.
