Avocado help.

I went grocery shopping yesterday on an empty stomach. Bad Idea. Well I bought some avocados they were on sale. When I got home I realized I bought them but besides guacamole or just eating them I don't really have anything to do with them.

I've got some tuna steaks to cook tonight does anyone have any ideas on what I can do with these avocados. :)

Re: Avocado help.

  • Mmmmmm, avocados.  I love those things.

    I like to mash one up and use it as a spread on sandwiches.  It's especially good on a toasted English muffin w/ a fried egg and maybe some pealmeal/Canadian bacon.

    Diced in a "salad" with diced fresh tomatoes (4 small), a can of tuna, a can of black beans and some balsamic vinegar makes a good lunch for a few days.

    Sliced and put on top of anything.

    I bough a bag of rather green ones on Sunday and I can't wait for them to ripen.  It seems like anytime I want avocados all I can find are green ones of way too black ones.

  • Put it in a paper bag, it will ripen faster. :)

  • You could make a salsa--diced fresh tomatoes, a few sliced jalape?os, some salt, add some avocados cut into chunks, get some tortilla chips and you've got my mom's ever-popular salsa.

    I'm a fan of plain avocado slices as a side or topping--I've never had a need to dress it up. I just share the slices with the husband, or use it in tostadas and tacos.

  • Yes, a paper bag will speed up the ripening several days.

    I like to put avocado in tortilla soup, or green chile stew, or even red chili.  Or I slice it in half, put Miracle Whip on it, and eat it with a spoon.   mmmmmm

  • Spinach, bacon and avocado sandwiches. Food of the gods!
  • My current favorite sandwich is turkey, havarti, avocado and spicy mustard.

  • I like them in egg while omelets  with sharp cheddar.  We also use them in cobb salad a lot.  And of course, like others have said, they make almost any sandwich a million times better!

  • I love to make avocado tacos with lettuce and tomatoes topped with a spicy salsa. Super quick and easy to make.
