Oh my, so good!! I was wondering whether I would miss my mozzarella cheese, but I didn't - the avocado is lovely and soft and tasty and more than makes up for the cheese too. I'd recommend chopping the onion quite finely; I came across a few lazily chopped chunks (yes, the lazy chopper was me) in my second roll and it threw the flavour balance off a bit. I used the weighted saucepan trick and it worked like a charm! Thank you for a lovely recipe!
