This sounds pretty yummy too.

Thanks!

I've made this a few times this summer and it is delicious. I did notice after posting that a step was left out of this recipe I posted vs. the one I've used. I got the one I posted from fitness magazine and they left this out:

1/3 cup canola oil for frying the tortillas:

Chop avocado and toss with cilantro, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice and salt.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. In saucepan, heat oil (grapeseed and canola oil tolerate high heat and do not become toxic at high temperatures) over medium flame for about 5 minutes. Once oil is hot, fry tortillas one at a time for one minute each side, or until lightly brown and blistered. Remove and blot on brown grocery bag or paper towel (if you skip frying the tortilla, the enchiladas will not hold form).

Try a wrap with roasted chicken, romaine lettuce, bacon, your favorite cheese, and favorite dressing or mayo-bacon and avocado are amazing together!

Trudy's in Austin does a stuffed avocado. Shred roasted chicken, combine with jack cheese and a touch of sour cream, stuff it into half of an avocado. They lightly batter and fry it; I think you could just bake through. Serve with a tomatillo-sour cream sauce (half sour cream and half jarred tomatillo salsa).

My grandmother makes chicken salad and serves it in avocado halves-yummy!

Chop advocado in bits; toss 3/4 of chunks into zip-loc plastic bag; add lime juice, garlic powder, salt, olive oil, cumin, finely chopped shallots, jalapeno and fresh cilantro (& dollop of sour cream if you like). Zip bag, massage with hands until mashed. Cut off corner of bag--squeeze into bowl, stir in the rest of the advocado chunks; adjust spices; scoop up with chips.

I did this (ziploc technique) and it was an excellent suggestion! I might add that it is good to squeeze out much of the extra air out of the bag before closing the bag and squeezing. You show a particular understanding of the Alligator Pear.

I would have a problem licking the remains from the ziploc.
