Avocados are used in many Southwestern recipes, so I feel this represents my region well. It's very easy to make and it tastes so good. My family and friends love it.

I made this recipe with a different type of cheese. It was still really good, but I think I prefer the cheddar cheese version better.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I will reduce the amount of chili powder next time I make it.

I made this recipe with a whole wheat bun instead of a white bun. It was still really good, but I think I prefer the white bun version better.

I made this recipe with grilled chicken instead of fried chicken. It was still really good, but I think I prefer the fried chicken version better.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will reduce the amount of salt next time I make it.

I'm not a huge fan of avocado, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The chicken was delicious and the avocado actually complemented it really well. I will definitely be making this again.
