I love avocado, and Chef/owner Julian Medina of Toloache definitely has a way with it, whether it’s in his three different flavors of guacamole — traditional, frutas and rojo — or his out-of-this-world jicama-avocado “ravioli.” The skins of the ravioli are thin slices of jicama, wrapped around pieces of avocado. They are light and delicate, making a wonderful starter salad with mixed greens, orange, radish and almonds dressed with tamarind vinaigrette. Paired with a margarita, this refreshing dish is the ideal start to an excellent Mexican meal.
