barbie66's Note:

These are awesome! Very different from the typical mayo/mustard/onion deviled eggs. Great for summer parties, since there is no mayonnaise called for. Everyone has asked me for this recipe!

This was a good recipe. I took this to a get together party and it was a hit! I think the lime in the avocado was a nice touch. Thanks for the great recipe.
