What a unique recipe! I love the idea of using just a simple avocado as a “cream” sauce. This is going on my “must try” list!

Very interesting! I think there was too much lime for my taste. I think it would make a better side dish than main dish as the flavors are really bold and a bit over-powering without a break to something else.
