So I made these a few weeks ago…and I’m so sorry it took me so long to get them posted. I used 2 of the smaller peppers from my garden, along with some of my cherry-like tomatoes.
And avocados. *swoon*
And I think these would be just as great with ground beef or ground turkey tacos. Love the different flavor and texture that the avocado chunks brought to these tacos!

I haven’t had tacos all summer. I think I will be making these for dinner this week.

I’ve been loving avocado this summer! It’s one of those things that I have had to warm up to!! These look great, thanks!

There are few things I like better than avocado.

After I read your recipe I knew I needed to make it that day. So, I added avocados to my list and headed to the store. Made them last night and WOW! They were good and sure hit the spot. Even my 8 year old who swears he doesn’t like avocados ate them.
Thanks for the great recipe.

Made these for dinner – they are yummy and SOOO easy! I opted for boneless skinless chicken thighs as they are a little more moist (and sooo much less expensive!).
The family loved them.
I made a couple of changes (because I can’t help myself). I cooked a little chopped onion in a small amout of EVOO until tender. Tossed in a couple cloves of minced garlic and cooked briefly before adding the chicken as directed. We love onions and garlic in everything – so this worked for us.
Excited to try other yummy food from here! THANKS for sharing 🙂

Nice and healthy. I LOVE avacados. say, could they be made into a healthier alternative dip option than say guacamole?

Chicken tacos sans avocado is the ticket for our dinner tonight. Thx!
