Cauliflower Tacos and Avocado-Lime Creme Fresh

The first time I tried creme fresh was with a fish taco recipe last summer. I was hooked!
If you've never tried it, you don't know what you're missing. I could never go back to sour cream. Since that first taste, I've been experimenting with different ingredients to add to make creme fresh a regular addition to our table.  I've found a lot of great combinations but my my favorites are always the simplest and the one in this recipe is one of the best.

Combining avocado and lime makes a fresh creamy and slightly tart creme fresh that you will want to practically drink from the bowl.  
My big secret is letting it sit, you're going to want to make this in advance.  It needs at least two hours, but can be made up to 24 hours in the  advance and stored in the fridge.

Avocado Lime Creme fresh

Ingredients 
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped avocado
zest and juice from half a lime
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
fresh black pepper to taste

Directions
Combine everything in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy ( about two minutes in my magic bullet). Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.
