Whether it's sliced and eaten by itself, or placed on top of a burger or taco, avocados can take food to another dimension!
Because of their delicate flavor, I think it's important to use spices and seasonings sparingly. This recipe has a good balance of flavor, spice, and salt, while allowing the avocado to be the star of the show. Enjoy!
