- Lay tortillas flat on a work surface.
- Generously salt and pepper the avocado pieces.

It was a nice flavor combo. I wrote the recipe for canned because so many of my friends are in areas that don’t get the fresh options much, but ABSOLUTELY prefer the fresh whenever available.
I like the Southwestern flavors in this, especially the green chiles, since the are in season right now.
