and pull out while holding the avocado gently down.
If the avocado is properly ripe it will either fall out by itself or be easily removed by this method. Anything less and you'll be fine but will be light on avocado flavor.
Make a paste of most of the garlic and throw in the avocado, worchestershire, salsita and spices.
Mash well, then mix in the diced cilantro, tomatos, and onions with a spoon.
Stuffed avocados:

- 1 large chicken breast, seasoned with cumin and black pepper and butterflied

- 12 oz black beans
- 8 oz refried beans
- 3 oz shredded cheese (in this case it was jalapeno jack)
Method
Sear the chicken over medium/high heat for about 3 minutes per side.
When you are done remove the pan from heat and put the peppers in it- they will soften but not get mushy.
Dice the chicken, and mix with the black beans and a diced chipotle or two.
Fill the shells with the mix.
Round out with cheese, top with guacamole like the two on the left, and then a coating of refried beans.
Put in the oven at 400 for 10 minutes on a greased pan. Pretty much anything will do.
The Nachos:
Ingredients:
chili lime tortillas (I wanted the spicy black bean for the trifecta, but they were out) 3 oz shredded cheese 4 oz black beans 1 diced red pepper

In that time, put the nachos on a greased pan and coat with cheese and beans in layers.
