I'm not a fan of avocado, but I still liked these yams. The sweet potato flavor really shines through.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I wasn't sure about the avocado filling, but it was actually really good. It added a nice creaminess to the yams.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them again with less cayenne pepper.
