Modern Guacamole — A master class from Rick Bayless

More than any recipe in the Mexican canon of classics, guacamole evolves and transforms into what the cook likes or what is right for the occasion. In Mexico, guacamole tends toward simple because it’s most often destined to be a condiment for tacos and the like. In the U.S.,guacamole explodes with complexity, often chock-full of vegetables, since here we almost always scoop it up with chip after chip. www.rickbayless.com/...

Why are avocados so amazing?

High in potassium and the so-called “good fat,” avocados have become the darling of nutritionists. They may even be a better standard-bearer than the apple for the wisdom of one a day to keep the doctor away. Free of cholesterol themselves, they help lower bad cholesterol and contain 20 essential vitamins and minerals, all in a package of 160 calories for a 100-gram serving. They also contain a notable amount of protein, unusual for any fruit, with 2 grams per 100-gram serving, www.thespruceeats.com/...

Did you know Avocado Fries were a thing? I have been deprived all these years!

If you love avocado but are growing a little tired of avocado toast and guacamole, these crispy fried avocado wedges are an excellent alternative. The avocado wedges are breaded with a simple panko coating and fried to perfection. Two avocados will give you about 16 to 20 crunchy, delicious snacks. www.thespruceeats.com/...

Egg-Stuffed Breakfast Avocados

..and I never heard of this until researching ideas for avocados for breakfast. Never would have thought of it, but it definitely sounds delicious...especially if you sprinkled some cheese on top, and some drops of hot sauce. (And maybe bacon.)

When my hubby first made these for me a few years back, I was hesitant as he assembled them. My first thought was “warm avocado”? No thanks, right?! WRONG! One bite in and these quickly changed my mind and became one of my most favorite breakfasts to enjoy. thecookinchicks.com/...

Mayak Avocado (Korean Marinated Avocado)

Mayak means drug in Korean, when we use it in front of food items, it means addictive. So Mayak Avocado means it’s addictively delicious avocado. This marinated avocado is not only addictively so delicious but it’s very versatile! You can serve as it is as salad style for an appetizer. Serve with crackers for finger food at your next wine party. Make an avocado toast with your favorite toasted bread. Serve with warm cooked rice with a little drizzle of sesame oil. seonkyounglongest.com/...
