Avocado Deviled Eggs

Submitted by True Texas

"I found this particular recipe on the website 12 Tomatoes it says at the bottom of it from Martha Stewart. These are amazing. Only change I made was a little less mayo and I subbed sliced jalapeno peppers for a whole pepper. I only used 3 slices, not a fan of anything that is very hot."
