Avocado Recipes That Go Way Beyond Guacamole

There's a reason people love avocados so much: it's their naturally rich and buttery flavor. All this flavor and creamy texture is thanks to avocado's high-but-good-for-you fat content, and we can't get enough of it (which is a problem when droughts are in effect).

Avocado really shines in guacamole. But as much as we love to shovel guac and chips into our faces, sometimes avocados are even better when whipped up into something else. Avocados make for stellar toast, they're great in smoothies, awesome baked into eggs and just perfect on top of tacos. In short, avocados belong with everything.

Here are 35 recipes that prove just that.
