Foodies everywhere are panic-buying avocados in light of an impending avocado shortage following a temporary ban placed on avocados imported from Mexico by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
While the last couple of years have brought no shortage of shortages, this is a new one and avocado lovers are not taking it lightly.
Guac already costs extra - and now we might not be able to eat our beloved avocado toast? An entire generation of Millennials is highly unimpressed.
The ban, and therefore the looming shortage, is widely considered to be temporary, but that doesn't make us any less anxious.
How do you deal with the avocado shortage of 2022? Eat all the avocados before they're gone, naturally.
To help you use up all those avocados you're obviously hoarding, here are 11 of our very best avocado recipes. Make them while the making is good!
Let's cut right to the chase. Our loaded guacamole recipe is arguably the very best way to have one last avocado hoorah before they're gone. Studded with crispy bacon, fresh jalapeños, tomatoes, lime wedges and crumbled queso fresco, this stuff is the real deal.
Sure, technically you could make these jerk chicken sliders without the avocado, but why would you want to? Shredded jerk chicken is made easily in the Instant Pot, then piled high on toasted Hawaiian buns with mango salsa and avocado. It's a trip to the tropics without leaving home!
You only need three ingredients to make these amazing Mexican sweet potato fries, but honestly it's the avocado dipping sauce made with peppers, cilantro and lime juice that is the real star of the show. Spoiler alert! This stuff also makes an incredible salad dressing. Try it now and thank us later.
Grilled bread topped with bright cherry tomatoes, little balls of cheese, fresh basil, avocado, and a simple balsamic glaze somehow magically presents like avocado toast and a caprese salad all at once.

Our Instant Pot crispy carnitas tostadas are an avocado's best friend. We're talking crispy, crunchy fried tortillas topped with savory pork, red onion, avocado, cheese and hot sauce. We love them as a tasty dinner, but they also make a great party appetizer.
Honestly, dishes like these are the reason avocados even exist. Our grilled chipotle lime flank steak with creamy avocado salsa is a spicy, bright, and tangy take on your favorite grilled meat.
