Notes
Use a perfectly ripe avocado that gives slightly when pressed.
Do not skip the lime juice; it prevents browning and adds brightness.
Taste and adjust salt before serving.
Pre-cook grains ahead of time to make preparation even faster.
Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap directly on the surface. Refrigerate for up to one day. Do not freeze. Reheating is not recommended; enjoy cold or at room temperature.
For added protein, top with a fried egg, grilled shrimp, or chickpeas.
To make vegan, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
