This dish is reminiscent of one I had in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The Mexican flavors will wake up your palate. The avocado adds a good source of monounsaturated fat. This dish has it all_ heart-healthy fat, an excellent serving of fiber, plus lean protein. You will feel full and satisfied long after your plate is cleaned.
