Expert Tips

Chipotle peppers are smoked and dried jalapeños. You can often find chipotle powder in the spice section of the grocery store.
Don’t let a knife slip get in the way of enjoying avocados. Here’s how to cut an avocado safely: Cut in half, and remove pit with spoon. Next, use spoon to separate flesh from skin. Once free from skin, dice avocado as desired, then repeat with other half.
Keep raw onions as fresh-tasting and crisp as possible by placing them in a strainer and running them under water for 20 to 30 seconds before using.
