The avocado is one staple in the Latin kitchen. Native to Mexico, Central America, and South America, the Spanish Conquistadors were the first Europeans to discover this versatile fruit, though historians suggest that avocados originated in the Mexican state of Puebla around 10,000 BC. While Latin cooks regularly use avocados in a variety of recipes as their star ingredient, avocados have gone mainstream—think Cobb salads, sushi rolls, sandwich toppings—and you can easily find avocado popping up as a popular component of healthy and inventive dishes throughout the world.
