I had an avocado, not one of those poor specimens that get picked as hard as a cue ball, transported for endless miles and left on the supermarket shelf until it finally gets soft enough to call itself el Aguacate but a real bit of luck that came from the tree a bit soft, traveled a hundred meters and spent a day on my windowsill to finish ripening. Read more A friend gave me a small bucket of crawdads (fresh water prawns) and I had cheese left from the last haul. Last but not least, the mushroom bag was sprouting like mad. I love serendipity and all of the above, plus a fresh batch of corn tortillas from “the American Grocery” led to The Fajita Omelette con el Aguacate. Except for the avocado part, the recipe is per person. In my experience, once you cut open an avocado you use it or it goes off toot sweat. If you don’t use the entire avocado here, add some stuff & make guacamole; or avocado soup. See less

- What wound up happening was that we cut off a bit of the omelette, added a few tomato cubes and some avocado, folded it in a bit of the tortilla and ate it that way. Thus, The Fajita omelette. Sprinkle on a bit of Moke’s Chile Pepper Water as suits you.
- When I showed this to The Hidalgo he said okay but where’s the habanaro? He claims to be Spanish but I think he’s Cubin.
