I was looking to create something with lots of layers of flavors and textures, and I wanted to pair it with a dipping sauce that would complement the spice and soothe the palate. I had so much fun playing with textures, flavors and snacking on the delicious California Avocado sauces that I made. ASouthernFairyTale.com
