Giveaway: Avocados from Mexico
This giveaway is now closed! Thanks to all who entered!
Congratulations to Angie B. who was chosen via Random.org as the winner!
She has been notified! Thanks!
Family dinners are so important, and great dinners usually involve a lot of fun and conversation. Fun is usually the best way to get your little ones to eat their dinners too! In our house, the best meals are the ones that we make ourselves… One of our favorite nights here is Taco Night!
Daddy and I prepare some meat.. usually chicken.. and make fresh corn tortillas. We’ll make some smoked salsa earlier in the day, and make sure it’s good and spicy. The girls help get the cheese, shredded lettuce, onion and sour cream together. Daddy will usually chop up some Avocado from Mexico for his tacos. Once we have all of our ingredients ready, we all start building our own tacos.
We have so much fun making our dinner “our own†and usually end up laughing about something silly, like dropping the cheese in the beans, or accidentally tossing a tomato across the plate.

I love avocados! Around here we have them on taco night of course, but I also like to use them is a carrot and avocado salad that includes:
-about 1 1/2 cups rough chopped carrots
-1 avocado, sliced
-1 Tbsp lemon juice
-1 tsp cumin
-dash of salt and pepper
-Olive oil
I saute the carrots in the olive oil and add the cumin and salt and pepper until they start to shrivel and brown a little, so they are slightly crispy outside and softer inside. Then I pour them in a bowl, gently mix in the avocado slices, and stir in the lemon juice. A great, easy and tasty veggie side!
I do vegetarian tacos
Zatarans Black Beans and Rice Mix
Avacados
Tomato
Red Pepper Flakes
Mexican 3 Cheese Shredded Cheese
Taco shells
Just cook the black beans and rice as directed on the package and pile on the rest of the ingredients to taste. You can add in any other ingredients you prefer.
The avacados and tomatoes are good for you, It’s easy, and vegetarians don’t have to miss out on all of the taco goodness. I make them when I make regular meat tacos for my family.

my son loves mashed avocados and bananas on his toast – simple yet delicious

I use chicken tenders and cook them in some olive oil, with fresh garlic, cumin, chili powder, and granulated onion. Cook till tender, shred, and add some water. Keep hot.
Take your avocados and slice up. Dice tomatoes, and onions, if you like. Clean lettuce.
Put the chicken and all the veggies on tortillas and add cheese and sour cream. So good!

I like the guacamole my boyfriend makes.
He doesn’t use an exact measuring technique
I believe he mixes salsa, mashed avocados, cilantro, salt and onions together and makes a great guacamole.

It’s the easiest salsa around, but it’s REALLY good. We were making this salsa before the fruity salsa’s got really popular.

I like to make a thick avocado soup to go with tacos or to dip chips in as an alternative to guac or salsa:
One of my favorite comfort foods would have to be avocado soup, which is a breeze to make but so delicious:
1 small onion, finely chopped
Olive oil for saute
1 med. avocado
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 1/2 cup of water
sea salt
Saute the onion until its transparent. Peel avocado and remove the pit. Combine the onion, avocado, soy sauce and water in a food processor or blender and beat well. When the mixture is smooth put into a saucepan and let it come to a boil. Simmer for 2 or 3 minutes.
Thanks!

I don’t have a blog. I love avocado on corn tortillas with rotisserie chicken, onion, cilantro, tomato & salsa.
I like this simple recipe for guacamole. Using two avocados, I add chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a dash of sea salt. If you like it spicy you can add a sliver of habanero (very hot) or jalapeño (mildly hot).
