ACKEE TACOS WITH ISLAND GUACAMOLE
Though it is Jamaica's national fruit, ackee is cooked and used as a vegetable. With a subtle, almost nutty taste, it is an exciting addition to vegetarian menus.

Steps:
- Make the guacamole:
- Dice or mash the avocado depending on your preference; it can have a more salsa-like texture if preferred. Add the remaining guacamole ingredients, gently stirring to combine. Refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the tacos.
- Make the ackee filling:
- Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, tomato, garlic, bell pepper, Scotch bonnet pepper, and scallion, and cook until the ingredients are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the ackee, thyme, chili powder, salt, and pepper, gently folding the ingredients together. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until the mixture is heated through; remove from heat.
- Serve assembly-line style, with the ackee mixture, guacamole, grated cheese, shredded lettuce or cabbage, cilantro, salsa, and sour cream (if using) in colorful bowls next to a basket of soft or hard taco shells. Alternately, serve a large platter of already assembled tacos: fill each shell with a few tablespoons of ackee, layer with lettuce, guacamole, and cheese, and top with a mound of fresh cilantro for a mouthful of exotic flavor. Serve with salsa and/or sour cream if you wish.
