Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionDice 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.
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.
