There are times when removing the flesh from an avocado can seem like a potential safety hazard.
Here’s how to do it safely and easily.
First, cut the avocado in half and gently twist each half to pull them apart. Tap the pit with the heel of a knife, using enough force so that the blade wedges into the pit. Twist the pit out of the avocado and discard. Next, use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the skin.
If you like it hot, you can serve tacos with a Mexican sauce such as salsa ranchero or serrano salsa verde. You can find these sauces in many supermarkets.
To drink, serve your octopus tacos with a michelada. It’s the most famous cocktail in Mexico, and it’s made with beer, lime, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco.
