Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the water, mayonnaise, lime juice, white vinegar, salt, granulated sugar, minced garlic, pickled jalapeño slices, and cilantro leaves to the blender.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the sauce and adjust with more salt, sugar, or lime juice if necessary to achieve your desired flavor balance.
Transfer the avocado sauce into a bowl or airtight container and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the sauce as a dip with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos or bowls, or drizzled over grilled chicken or vegetables.
