Stuffed Avocados

I don't have much to say about this other than...it must be one of the best recipes ever! It is very easy and fast, which is a bonus. How come I never thought of this idea before? Ready? Stuffed avacados. They are to die for. (originally from http://blogs.babycenter.com/life_and_home/122112-the-end-of-the-world-stuffed-avocados/ but I tweaked it and you can can pretty much fill them up with your favorite fillings that would go well in them.)

Stuffed Avocados

3 Avocados from Mexico halved
1 large can of sweet corn kernels
6 strips of bacon
1 red and green pepper cut into small strips (I used a tomato instead of the red pepper)
1small bunch of green onions, chopped
2 large lemons
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp chili powder

 Preheat oven to 450
1. In a frying pan over medium heat, add the bacon until golden. Remove the strips and place on kitchen paper to absorb the remaining fat. Then cut it into pieces.
2. In the same pan, and using the bacon fat, add the peppers, (tomato if used), onions, corn, and spices. Cook for about 5-10 minutes until slightly tender.
3. To prevent darkening avocados, sprinkle with lemon juice. Add the mix inside each avocado where the seed was removed and bake for only 5 minutes. Enjoy!
