Avocado toast and eggs. Fish tacos topped with avocado. Egg salad with mashed avocado. Avocado BLT with turkey...

And with domestic crops likely more than a month from harvest, stores have already seen a 30%+ increase in avocado prices since Trump made his threats known, the largest increase in nearly a decade.

In the meantime, here's a handy guide to All the Avocado Recipes to Make and Eat Right Now. – Dan Taylor
