    Eat it with a little salt and pepper. Smear it on toast. I eat mine with a little ketchup!

    My favorite to cut it half, score the inside several times two directions,and drizzle a bit of soy sauce or braggs amino acids in it. I add a spoonful of tahini when I have it. Eat with a spoon right out of the skin. It is really good.

    it's really easy. and if you've ever had chipotle's guac, that's where I got the recipe. I can find it if you want exact measurements of ingredients :) it's delicious

    Yeah I'm planning to make burritos tomorrow. I need to find a simple recipe - I got some ingredients but light on money

    2 Hass Avocados
    1/2 of a Jalapeno pepper, seeded, and minced
    1/4 of a red onion, finely chopped
    2 heaping Tablespoons of Cilantro, finely chopped
    1/4 of a lime, juiced
    1/4 teaspoon salt

    Combine all of the ingredients into a bowl, and mash together until smooth. Add additional lime juice or salt to taste.

    I omitted the cilantro because I didn't have any and it was good without it. very simple and cheap to make. I'm not sure where you live but all these things are very inexpensive. I bought a bottle of lime juice so I had it to make more in the future but if you just bought a lime to juice, it would be even cheaper (depending on how much a lime costs but I don't imagine it's much for just one)

    enjoy :)

    you could always throw whatever meat you wanted in a crockpot with seasonings and let it go all day on slow and shred it when you were ready to eat for the burritos. that's what I do and it's delicious and nice and juicy :)

    I was in this situation for the first time last night as well!! (Shocked by its calorie content but discovered they taste really nice!)

    I mashed mine into tuna, really filled me up!

    Compared to mayonnaise calories it doesn't compare, I think (I might be wrong)

    I love avocados. I tend to just eat it in a salad. I've also tried it with some lemon juice.

    so much you can do with it, you can make a pesto, guacamole, put it on toast, I really like slicing it and putting a poached egg on top. Just google so many great recipes

    It made me giggle too! :)

    Lately I've been mashing 1/2 an avocado adding garlic powder, salt & lemon pepper and spreading it over 1 slice of toasted rye bread then topping it with an sliced hard-boiled egg. I find it so tasty and filling.
