Breakfast made with vibrant flavors of Mexico is a lively way to start any day. Sautéd onion and bell pepper, Jack cheese, cilantro and a hint of hot pepper sauce transform eggs into a feast, while avocado cubes supply the crowning touch.

Alternatively, substitute fresh or frozen corn kernels for the bell pepper, and fold diced avocado into scrambled eggs just before serving. Another great breakfast or brunch idea: Mix chopped avocado into your favorite salsa, and serve over a cheese omelet.

Hass avocados from Mexico, in plentiful supply all year long, are ideal for these morning specialties. Mash a ripe avocado with chopped onion, lemon juice, salt and pepper, spread over toasted bagels and, if you like, top with smoked salmon. This spread is not only tastier and more colorful than cream cheese, but more healthful-because two-thirds of the fat in Hass avocados consists of monounsaturated fat, the same cholesterol-lowering “good fat” as olive oil.
