Avocado recipes for a newbie

Avocado Recipe Ideas for Beginners
I recently realized that I love avocado at 32 years old! My go-to dish so far has been mashed avocado with salt, pepper, chili flakes, fresh basil, and parmesan on flatbread topped with an egg. I’m really enjoying it, but I want to explore more avocado dishes to keep things exciting. What other delicious ways can I use avocado?
