    This was pretty good. I've never had Avocado before. So it took me a minute to figure out how to peel it, core it, and cut it. Also, i divided my meal into smaller portions. So, instead of getting 4 servings out of it, I will get about 6-8 servings. - 10/20/09

    My girlfriend and I made this for dinner last night, and it was amazing. Only difference was we used pepper jack cheese instead of Swiss, but still, it was amazing. - 2/13/11
