Avocado Cream Sauce

Perfect to serve over chicken enchiladas



2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
2 cups chicken broth
¾ cup sour cream
½ tsp. cumin
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. pepper
2 California avocados, peeled and pitted
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
juice of one lime

·  Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the flour, whisking until golden and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
·  Slowly whisk the broth into the flour mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
·  Stir in the sour cream, cumin, salt, garlic powder and pepper, whisking if necessary to remove any lumps.
·  Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a blender or food processor. Add avocados, cilantro and lime juice, and pulse until smooth and well-blended. (Be sure to remove the lid occasionally so that the heat can escape.)
·  Season with additional salt or pepper if needed.
