I love guacamole, I have a book of nothing but guacamole recipes
(this one), and I could eat
it morning, noon, and night. That’s not a bad thing, considering all of the
nutrition packed into the superfood known as avocado. Despite my having a
variety of recipes, I had never used oregano in mine. To me, oregano seemed
like an Italian herb. Indeed, it can be used in a lot of Italian food, but the
jar of Mexican oregano that I
have in the pantry doesn’t say “Mexican” for nothing (Slap to the head).
This recipe is from
Abrams’ wonderful new book by Bricia Lopez called OAXACA,
Home Cooking from the Heart of Mexico. If the author’s name sounds familiar, it’s because she is one
of the family members behind LA’s legendary Guelaguetza Restaurante, specializing in
Oaxacan food.
If you love Mexican food like I do, this book is a must for your cookbook
library. If you similarly love guacamole, you absolutely have to try this one.
It is so easy to put together, that you can do it in a flash, and kick up your
morning avocado toast with a little heat and spice. Kids seem to love it as
well, and will appreciate a bit of wandering from normal breakfast fare.
