"Tired of the same old jalapeno poppers? I wanted something different and came up with this. I've also mixed in bacon bits into the avocado mixture. My DH really liked that. But I didn't care for the bacon in it. I just thought it took away the lime flavor. The lime really gives these such a fresh zesty taste. See note on bottom."
