Stuffed Avocado

Stuffed avocados taste great on a hot summer afternoon - especially when shared with friends as we chat from the comfort of my deck. Add some music and a few cold drinks, and we are in heaven.

While I give the basic recipe below, the world is the limit for variations. Add in cilantro. Use hot salsa instead. Use black beans instead of roasted corn. Add a dash of dressing…
