The avocado is not your enemy

I was trying to Google healthy Mexican food options for someone and all I kept finding were sites that

A) State the obvious: "A deep fried chimi the size of a roll of paper towels is loaded with calories and fat!"

B) Talk about guacamole like it's the devil with herpes. "Avoid it! If it is served to you, throw it on the floor and run away!" Yes, avocados are high in fat but it's a good fat. Like everything else, enjoy it in moderation. In the spectrum of Mexican food, there are far unhealthier things than guacamole. One site went on and on about how you can enjoy a little sour cream "if you must" but advised flushing your guacamole down the toilet while wearing a hazmat suit.

I am suddenly the defender of avocados.

Now I'm wanting some fresh guacamole from La Indita.

food, life
