What does an avocado leaf actually do when cooking beans?
I recently came across a chicken burrito recipe online, and the recipe mentioned adding an avocado leaf while preparing the beans.
I live in an area where avocado leaves are pretty hard to find, so I was wondering what purpose they actually serve. Do they add a specific flavour or aroma to the beans, or is there another reason for using them?
Also, if they're mainly used for flavour, is there a good substitute that would work well in burrito beans? submitted by /u/MistSw6
