How to Make Tex Mex Green Sauce

  1. Mash 2 ripe avocados and 4 ounces of softened cream cheese together in a medium bowl until smooth.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 2 jalapeños (seeded and minced, or omit for less heat), 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  3. (Optional) For a smoother sauce, transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the bowl.
