It’s no secret that avocado toast has become one of the most iconic, most Instagrammed, more coveted breakfast meals of all time, also leading avocados to become a bonafide breakfast staple. But really, the truth of the matter is that there is so much more to avos than toast, and there are so many ways to eat avocado for dinner.
Sure, once your avocados ripen, it may be tempting to make an avocado and egg combo for breakfast or make some sort of avocado brunch recipe. But if you wait it out, there are so many more possibilities for avocado greatness that you may not have ever dreamed to try. The obvious (but delicious) choices? Avocado quesadillas and tacos. The not-so-obvious choices? Avocado risotto, pizza, and pasta. Avocados are much, much more than just a creamy, buttery spread for toast. It’s time to start thinking outside the box.
So, the next time you’re figuring out what to make for dinner, check to see if your avocados are the perfect consistency for consuming, and get creative. From single-serve pasta dishes and sushi bowls to savory sandwiches, there’s no limit to the number of ways you can enjoy this healthy, fatty fruit. Enjoy!
