Recipes with avocado
117 verified Mexican recipes with avocado.
Mexico is the homeland of the avocado (ahuacatl in Nahuatl) and uses it far beyond guacamole: in creamy avocado salsa verde for tacos, in tortas and tostadas, in chilled soups, in aguachile and as the creamy finish on good carnitas tacos. Good fats, colour and freshness in any dish.
