Creamy taco topping and sauce

Avocados, with their creamy texture, are a healthy and nutrient-packed addition to many recipes. They are high in potassium, fiber, and monounsaturated fats, as well as other vitamins and minerals.

This recipe is adapted from Food & Nutrition Magazine. You can try using this topping on a fish, chicken, turkey or even a tofu taco. All you need is a corn or whole wheat tortilla, a choice of protein and this topping to make an easy and nutritious meal.
