Avocado - In the Big Leagues!!


2 ripe avocados, smashed to your liking. (Remove any yukky brown parts.)
Add the following:
  • 2TBSP lime juice
  • about a TBSP chopped cilantro (dried)
  • a few sprinkles of lemon pepper
  • About 1/4 c of either chopped tomatoes OR salsa
  • salt to taste
  • a little chopped garlic (or a LOT...whichever you prefer)


And since we're near Buffalo, and Buffalo is famous for chicken wings, sometimes we toss in some hot sauce just for variety.

If you use tomatoes instead of salsa or picante, add a couple shakes of Mexene with some cumin powder. It never comes out the same way twice.

Keep it covered or it will brown. If you're going to leave it out, then spray the top with a non-stick spray.

At only 50 calories per ounce (around three slices), and sodium and cholesterol free, they make great additions to everyday salads and sandwiches. With nearly 20 different types of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients in a one ounce serving, avocados make a healthy ingredient in any dish.

Avocado is such a BMOC it's got its own league!!
