I was glad to see this recipe posted...you saved me from doing it! We really loved this dish. I did use extra-virgin olive oil in place of the avocado oil. I thought the rub could use a little more salt, but that's not worthy of less stars. I served this with tortillas. Next time I think I'll try it on a bed of greens. Very tasty and healthy.
