Speaking of Avocados…Here are two of my favorite ‘Avocado-Inspired’ recipes:
I am looking forward to seeing all of your comments n’ recipes…
What are you cookin’ up with your Taco Night?
Please note, as required by the Federal Trade Commission, I am running at the request of Avocados from Mexico, for which I will receive $100 gift card in appreciation.
I like guacamole topped with salsa and served with tostitos.
Here is how I make my guacamole (I think I learned this from Betty Crocker Book) Mix 3 large avacados pitted and peeled, 2 tsp lemon juice, with 1/2 tsp hot sauce continue mixing until consistency is reached.
My favorite recipe is quite simple. just take 2 avocados, add chopped onion, cilantro, tomatoes, a small amount of lime juice, and a bit of sea salt. If you like it spicy, you can add a sliver of habanero pepper (very hot) or jalapeño (mildly hot).
