Tasty and easy for dinner. I made ours vegan with Soy Chorizo and tofu "feta". I felt it was missing something. . .we thought maybe picked jalapenos on top or other sort of hot pepper. The chorizo is spicy, the avocado and "cheese" were creamy but I think it needs that other layer of vinegary-hotness. Just my opinion :) Perhaps if my salsa verde was medium or hot that would have done the trick. Thanks for posting!
