    nice

    My avocado was still firm, so I covered the pan and let it steam-cook. It ended up with the texture and flavor of a perfectly ripe avocado. It was incredibly delicious, and the seasoning was just right eaten together with lettuce.

    Someone I was cooking for doesn’t handle spicy food well, so I made it with curry powder. It tasted delicious, almost like avocado curry. The downside was that when we rolled it up to eat, some of the juices came out and made our hands and the area around us messy.

    I was able to eat a lot of lettuce.

    I made it without avocado and used ground chicken, and it was very delicious.
