    This Avocado Cilantro Sauce recipe is hyper-delicious and super easy to make. Made with avocados, jalapenos, cilantro, fresh garlic, olive oil and limes. Perfect for tacos, empanadas, tortilla chips, tostadas, eggs and much more!

    Avocado Cilantro Sauce served in a glass bowl surrounded by freshly made tortilla chips.

    Avocados are a staple in my kitchen, and this Avocado Cilantro Sauce is one of my favorite ways to use them. I first whipped it up on a whim when I needed a quick sauce for tacos, and now I can't get enough! Now, I use it on everything from tortilla chips, tacos, steaks, empanadas, eggs, fish tacos, you name it! It adds the perfect zesty kick! If you’re as avocado-obsessed as I am, you'll also love my Avocado Lime Dressing, Avocado Bread, and Avocado Tartar Sauce!
