Most top chefs will tell you the same thing: When they're finally free from painstaking labor in the kitchen, they crave late-night street food that's poetically simple and satisfying: a hot dog, fried rice, a bowl of noodles. According to chef Enrique Olvera of Cosme in New York and Pujol in Mexico City, this hand-to-mouth haiku can be found in the avocado tacos he consumes at any time of the day.

At its most basic, an avocado taco is like a two-bite couplet celebrating Mexican ingredients: a chewy corn tortilla surrounding creamy slices of tree-grown butter. Reserve additions elevate the avocado: a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of chopped onion, and cilantro. But the chef takes the elevation one step further with salsa made from pasilla peppers and tomatillos.

Contents

12 total tacos

4pasilla peppers

½ teaspoon coarse sea salt

2garlic cloves

10tomatillos, boiled in salted water for 15 minutes or until tender

3 avocados, thinly sliced

12Cornbread

¾ cup white onion, finely chopped

Preparation

Prepare the salsa: Remove the stems and seeds from the strawberries. Using tongs, carefully hold the peppers over medium heat until charred on all sides. Transfer the peppers to a food processor, add salt and grind to powder. Add the garlic and tomatillos and puree until smooth. (This makes 1 pint of salsa, more than needed; refrigerate the rest in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)

To serve, place 3 or 4 slices of avocado on each tortilla and top with salsa, onion, and cilantro.
