Avocado Butter


You possibly didn’t know but the butter is not of Mexican origin. Its true origin is unknown but is possible that it comes from the Vikings, the Celts or the Mongols. And just as this and many other recipes it was brought to Mexico by the Europeans and it was adapted to the local cuisine.
