Avocado Taco chaat recipe

Avocado Taco chaat, yet another fusion recipe, with step by step pictures, a perfect party starter. We used to buy avocado rarely. As i am not a big fan of avocados and also feel it very heavy for tummy, i rarely buy them. But kids love Avocado milkshake. This time i bought the avocados to make an interesting toast. But the plan totally changed when the kids wanted Tacos. They tasted tacos in Chennai during our visit last month. But somehow they didn't like the outer shell and was asking to make it at home with the tacos available here. We decided to something using avocado and finally ended up in this Avocado Taco recipe. We all enjoyed the texture and taste of avocado in this fusion chaat recipe. I used the frozen red kidney beans and it will quite handy for us during such unplanned moments.

But this snack was very filling for them and your guests can sure be pleased with this chaat menu for snack. They can easily have a light dinner after this filling chaat.
