Margarita's Avocado Tacos

I'm an avocado fan!  Would you believe I eat avocados every day? Avocados are rich in the good kind of fats- raw, plant-based and nutrient dense monounsaturated fats with  omega 3 (alpha linolenic acid) and omega 6 (linoleic acid)s. It also contains fat soluble vitamins - C, E and K, vitamin B6, folate, potassium, magnesium and lutein.  Most days, it costs less than a dollar each at Sunflower Market -- so cheap but so nutritious!

With my anticancer diet, one thing I really avoid is sugar because it feeds cancer cells.  Sometimes I need an evening snack. Instead of eating a slice of cheese, bread, pie, cake or sweet snack, I’d slice an avocado, scoop up the flesh and eat half of it!  It’s so filling and comforting to my tummy.  So much better than eating carbs that’s converted to sugar in the blood resulting in a sugar spike.
