Jack In The Box Creamy Avocado Lime Sauce Recipe Tips

🥑 Use a ripe avocado – It should feel slightly soft when gently squeezed for the creamiest texture.

🍋 Fresh lime juice is best – It adds bright flavor and helps preserve the sauce’s vibrant green color.

🔥 Add jalapeño for heat – Blend in a small slice if you want a spicier kick.

🧊 Chill before serving – Letting it sit for 15–30 minutes helps the flavors meld beautifully.

🧼 Store properly – Place plastic wrap directly on the surface before sealing to help prevent browning.
