I am LOVING the entries so far!! TY! I'll be making these this week!
Great pictures. Tacos are one of the few North American dishes I can get Italians to look forward to - be they more traditional soft shell tacos or store bough cruncy shell kits. They are just fun.
Dip Recipe:
3 ripe avocados
Juice of 1 lime
small red or yellow onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
15 cherry tomatoes diced (they give extra sweetness)
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp hot sauce
Mash avocados and combine all other ingredients. Delicious!
Oops forgot the link in the comment above: http://onefrugalgirl.blogspot.com/p/giveaways-ive-entered.html
My favorite taco recipe includes Mexican avocados.
Season favorite meat with:
chili powder
garlic
basil
and chlis to taste.
Then load taco shells with these ingredients and add lettuce, tomatoes and avocados. These avocados need to be mashed. Add:
diced yellow onions
garlic
lime juice.
Wonderful! Thanks for the chance.

I'ma vegetarian so I love black bean tacos with brown rice and slices of avocado on top :) simple and easy. http://butterflywishesformygirls.blogspot.com/2010/09/black-bean-and-brown-rice-burritos.html
I also love to drink avocado smoothies while eating my spicy black bean tacos.
just puree berries, bananas, soy milk and half an avocado in a blender this will be the smoothiest, creamiest smootie ever!!!! its also good with peaches and mangos (really any fruit)

My favorite guacamole recipe is very simple:
2 Tbs chopped fresh cilantro
2 tsp salt
2 tsp finely chopped yellow onions
2 tsp minced jalapeno
2 large ripe avocados, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp finely chopped plum tomato (1 small tomato)
2 tsp fresh squeezed lime juice
Mash together 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, 1 teaspoon of the onion, 1 teaspoon of the chile, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in the bottom of a medium-size bowl.
Add the avocados and gently mash with a fork until chunky-smooth.
Fold the remaining cilantro, onion, and chile into the mixture.
Stir in the tomato and lime juice, adjust the seasonings to taste, and serve with a basket of warm tortilla chips.

These Quesadillas have avacados and olives inside for a tasty crunchy and cheesy delight!
10 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (2 ounce) can sliced black olives
2 Avocados from Mexico - peeled, pitted and sliced
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
Directions:
1. Heat a large frying pan or griddle over a medium heat. Place one tortilla flat on the frying pan. After 1 minute flip the tortilla over. Sprinkle a little more than 1/4 cup cheese on the tortilla, followed by some olives, avocados from Mexico, and hot pepper sauce. Place another tortilla on top to make a sandwich. Cover the quesadilla with a lid. After one minute, flip the quesadilla. When the cheese has melted on the inside, remove the quesadilla. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
2. Cut the quesadillas into triangles and serve.

I LIKE Avacados from Mexcio on Facebook (Erin Mize)
panicxduh[at]yahoo[dot]com
My favorite guac recipe is adapted from Alton Brown's recipe. Everyone RAVES about it.
Ingredients
3 avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
1 lime, zested and then juiced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 medium red onion, diced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
Directions
In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice and zest, toss to coat. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash to your desired consistency (I leave it a slightly chunky). Then, fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.
We have Thursday as taco night. We are vegetarians, so we have shells, refiend beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and they are topped with Avocado from Mexico of course.
My taco recipe is multi-grain or whole wheat tortillas filled with fresh diced tomato, shredded lettuce, cooked black beans, mild salsa, and topped with slices of Avocados from Mexico sprinkled with season salt.

i blogged my recipe idea http://clarissaneiding.blogspot.com/2010/10/instead-of-dressing-on-salad.html
Dear Mandy. I need to revise my recipe http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=sent#!/?page=1&sk=sent&tid=10150091955528574 that I entered in your contest. Of all things my last name is spelled wrong and I forgot to add the 1 cup diced Avocado to my list of ingredients. And I want to let people know that if fresh pumpkin is not available frozen pumpkin defrosted and strained may be substituted. Sorry for the mix up.
I hope I am not too late to correct this in time to be entered in the contest. Hope all is going well with you. sincerely, Roberta 'Sloat' Bonney
Roberta, got it!:)
My recipe is soo easy!
2 mexican avacados cut up
2-3 cups grapefruit cut up
4-5 tbs honey(haet it slightly to toss easier)
dash salt fresh mint to taste
just combine all ingredients,toss lightly to coat and..eat!
I add cold grilled chicken in the summer to make a main dish.

Here is my avocado salsa recipe
My recipe:
1 avocado,
1/4 c. red onions
8 cherry tomatoes
1 lime
1/4 c. coriander
Directions: chop avocado and squeeze lime over it. Chop red onions, tomatoes and coriander. Mix everything together.
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.

Here's my favorite recipe for Avocados from Mexico!
Creamy Guacamole
2 ripe Avocados from Mexico
1/4 cup Cream cheese spread
2 tblsp. Finely chopped onions
1/4 cup Finely chopped tomatoes
2 tblsp. Lime Juice
1 Minced garlic clove
1/8 teasp. Salt
1 dash Black Pepper
Mash the avocados in a medium-sized bowl, then add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Makes 12 2-tablespoon servings.
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).

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.
