Avocados always make me think of my mom. (Love you, Mom!)
Long before they were in vogue, my mother served them up every which way…on picnic sandwiches, in potluck salads, you name it. My great-uncle owned a citrus and avocado grove a few towns away in Vista, California, so we had baskets of these dark green fruits (yes, it’s a fruit) nearly yearround. As kids, we loved them sliced and sprinkled with a little salt. I can taste them now—yum!
My own kids love them, too, especially in my homemade guacamole. Inspired by Mom’s recipe, my guac has ingredients you probably have on hand right now. It’s a hit on its own, but trust me, it tastes amazing tucked inside Adan Franco’s Grilled Onion & Skirt Steak Tacos on page…
