I share your avocado love. I went thru college in Northern California eating thick slices of avocado on baguettes as my main meal. Who needs anything else? It's still a favorite lunch.

Indeed!!! When I am in a hurry, sometimes I just slice some ripe avocado into warm corn tortillas, sprinkle a little salt... And done!

Hi Pati,
We share your love for Mexican food and Hass avocados, we eat them almost every day.
Have you tried the "Aguacates Criollos" they are similar to Hass but have more flavor, specially when you eat them with their thin skin in a taco. I have only been able to buy them in Queretaro, Guanajuato and Michoacan. They are the very best avocados.
We are Mexican Canadian Americans and we appreciate your writings, they inspire us to run to the kitchen.

Hi David,
Many thanks for your lovely message, so glad you like my posts. And yes!! I have tried the Criollos and absolutely die for those... however, I haven't been able to find them outside of Mexico. A true delicacy... (!)

Pati,
I feel compelled to tell you that this dish was so enthusiastically received last night for our Valentine's Day dinner at home. My husband, who is quite a skeptic, was talking about it over and over! He asked me to make it again!
Thank you so much for sharing this!

Hi Laura,
Thank you so much! It is exactly comments and experiences as yours what truly make my work so worthwhile. I am happy to keep on sharing more and more... Very best, Pati

Such a fantastic article! We share your opinion in our house. In fact, in our daughters' eyes, the avocado is afforded special worship. They will do just about anything if you promise them avocado.

Hey,
You are making me laugh! Well you are following the food steps of the Aztecs!! They seriously worshiped avocados too...

I always tell my friends that they can count on my kitchen having three things because I'm Mexican: Limes, cilantro and avocados. Otherwise, they should take my passport away.

¡Felicidades por el artículo, Pati! Voy a hacer la prueba con una de tus recetas.
Un beso!

Gracias Monica!! Hey what about the chiles?? Chipotles? Jalapeños? Can't live without those either...

Pati, you are right. I always have chiles. I have two tin cans full of a variety of dry ones and at least three salsas in the fridge. Hehe. Can't change who we are, can we?

Mónica, never enough chiles! What you will never, ever, see missing from my pantry, are cans of Chipotles in Adobo Sauce. As for my refrigerator, always, Jalapeños or Serranos, and most times Poblanos.
