In the mood for some new and exciting ways to enjoy your avocados for dinner? Here are 17 avocado recipes sure to level up the playing field and give you extra reasons to pick up a few extra at the store.

You know how it is with avocados. You buy a couple from the store and make the attempt to purchase them at different ripenesses so that they don’t all become ready to eat at once. Then, you place one in the produce bowl on your counter and the rest in the fridge.

You wait and wait and wait for that first avocado to reach the perfect level of ripeness for making guac, avo toast, or whatever you had in mind. Then, you wait some more.

All of a sudden the avocado reaches a level of ripe where it MUST be eaten in the next five minutes, or it will be too late! You don’t want to waste all that avocado nutrition!
