Served this for lunch one day last week when we had a couple visiting much of the day, & it was much enjoyed, at least by the other 3 (& I'm following their lead in rating this recipe)~ For me, I'm not that big on avocados, but since they enjoyed it, what can I say but that I cook as much for myself as for the enjoyment of others! I did, however, use but 1 small avocado, & I also cut the amount of hot sauce back by half! Other than that, though, the recipe was followed!
