WHEN TO PICK AVOCADOS RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Peel and dice the onion, then deseed and dice the peppers. Soften in 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over a low heat.
  2. Peel, finely slice and add the garlic, along with the paprika and cumin, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beef and stir until it has browned.
  3. Pour in the stock, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until reduced and delicious.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
  5. For the salsa, roughly chop the tomatoes, trim and finely slice the spring onion, then pick and roughly chop the coriander leaves. Combine with the lime juice, then season carefully to taste.
  6. For the guacamole, halve and destone the avocados, then mash the flesh with a fork. Squeeze in the lime juice, add the crème fraîche, season, and gently mix it all up.
  7. Spread the taco shells out on a baking tray and place in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp.
  8. Fill the shells with the meat, salsa and guacamole or lay everything out and let everyone help themselves.

Steps:

• Take avocados and cut into and around the circumference of the avocado's pit.
• With both hands twist the two halves in opposite directions and pull apart.
• Remove the pit with a knife or a spoon.
• Carve out the flesh of the avocado with a tablespoon.
• Place avocados into a medium bowl and mash and stir until moderately creamy. I use a fork or a pastry blender.
• Some people like the avocados more chunky than others-- either way it tastes great.
• Add diced onion and tomatoes to the avocados.
• Add salt, pepper, tabasco sauce and lime juice and taste to see if seasoned enough to your liking.
• In a separate small bowl put in 2 tablespoons of the dip.
• Add 1 tbsp of sour cream and adjust your seasonings again.
• Taste it and decide if you prefer your guacamole with or without sour cream.
• If you like with sour cream add 4 tablespoons or more to the avocado mixture and adjust your seasonings again.
• If not, do nothing and leave it like it is.
• Serve chilled with chips or add a little to your taco salad, tacos or fajitas.
