I made this recipe in March while we were in southern California, where perfectly ripe avocados are plentiful in every supermarket at that time of the year. Our friends loved it and gobbled it up. Best of all, I really liked the queso fresco as a garnish.
Thanks Andi! It’s hard to find perfectly ripe avocados and when I do, I buy them by the armload! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
