Any one here tried this? Results?

Avocado leaves, both fresh and dried are used in the cuisine's of the South Central part of Mexico.

Fresh Leaves
Fresh leaves are used in Oaxaca as a bed for barbecuing meats as well as a flavoring for tamales.

Dried Leaves
Dried avocado leaves are most frequently available in the U.S. and can be used in soups and stews as well as bean recipes. Diana Kennedy suggests using the leaves as a substitute for hoja santa.
