1. Eat the avocado on a BLT
2. Cut with lime juice, fresh onion, fresh tomato, and cilantro for guacamole.
3. Make salsa with lime juice, chili powder, mango, and tomato
4. Make a salad with mixed greens and your favorite veggies, drain and heat black beans with good salsa. Dress the salad very lightly with olive oil and vinegar dressing. Top the salad with the beans, then put cut avocado on top. Add more salsa to taste.
5. Make a sharp cheddar omelet and top with avocado and Tabasco.

Or freeze the avocado according to these directions and worry about it later.

Swap #5 for eggs, sunny-side up, served with a side of black beans and thinly sliced lightly salted avacado slices with a slice of dry toast to wipe up all the drippings. Enjoy the slices dipped in the egg yolk and black bean mixture.

Mmm... black beans, make me homesick ;-)

I like spreading it on rich, sweet dark bread (like squaw bread) and eating it with just enough salt to make it super yummy.

Take pictures and post them to make me cry. Otherwise what alicat2001 said.

I like tossing them into tacos of various sorts - corn tortillas heated up and: thin pieces of skirt steak spiced they way you like and maybe chopped onion; queso fresco (aka ranchero - but it must be fresh, you can't let this stuff age!); mashed refried beans; Spanish rice....

You can also just eat them - peel, slice up and munch away. Salt usually makes it better still. Though it can depend on the avocado itself, how ripe it is, etc. Some just never get tasty. Overripe and there are veins.

Enjoy!
