Submitted by FLUFFSTER

"These are delicious and easy to make, for one or for many! Very easy to put together, there are very few ingredients. You can also create some heat by adding a few crushed red pepper flakes in with the avocado mix."

Made this to go along with recipe#212388#212388 and I followed the instructions completely except for cutting it in half. It was a great hit! Definately something I would make again especially as an appetizer or a snack. Made for Zaar Alphabet Chef tag game.

Delicious! Even with having to use different ingredients based on what I had. I used whole wheat tortillas, about a cup of mozzarella cheese and the rest was Mexican blend cheese. Threw in the whole, drained small can of green chiles. Used 2 tsp onion powder instead of diced onions, 1/2 tsp garlic powder (we love garlic), and cooked it in grapeseed oil. Plus added some crushed red pepper. LOOOVE it!

Oh, delicious! I made half a recipe and probably made a few changes to the proportions of the ingredients based on what I had on hand: fried 5 slices of bacon (didn't measure them after chopping), used 1/2 cup of shredded emmental cheese (all I had!), and one small clove of garlic instead of garlic powder. Do mince the onion quite finely as it doesn't have time to cook and soften! I had these for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed them! Thank you for sharing, I will definitely make these again!

We liked these, but didn't love them. I discovered I prefer avocado in its uncooked state, so maybe use this as a dip for chips? I ended up adding the whole 4 ounce can of chillies, but you couldn't really taste them.
