Photo: Avacados From Mexico
YIELD: 100 servings
| 10 lbs. | fully ripened Mexican avocados |
| 1 cup | lime or lemon juice |
| ½ cup | water |
| 2 tsps. | salt |
| ¼ cup | ground cumin |
| 8 lbs. | cooked diced chicken |
| 100 | flour tortillas (7-8” each) |
| 1½ lbs. | shredded pepper-jack cheese |
| Commercial salsa as needed | |
| Sour cream as needed | |
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.
Bake at 450°F until tortillas are crisp and golden around the edges, about 8 minutes. Serve with salsa and sour cream as desired.
