Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Combine avocado, yogurt, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth. If necessary, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sauce reaches desired consistency.
