YIELD: 100 servings

10 lbs.	fully ripened Mexican avocados
1 cup	lime or lemon juice

2 tsps.	salt
¼ cup	ground cumin
8 lbs.	cooked diced chicken

Pit, peel and cut avocados into 1” cubes (yielding about 7½ pounds).
In a bowl combine lime or lemon juice, water, salt and cumin. Add chicken and avocado; toss gently.
On baking sheets, lay tortillas in single layer. Spoon chicken and avocado mixture on 1 side of each tortilla, dividing evenly; top with cheese. Fold tortillas in half to cover filling; press down gently.
