I'm a fan of shrimp, and my family loves nachos. When I combined those favorites and added fresh avocado, the result was a cool yet satisfying snack. —Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan

Test Kitchen tips
  • The avocado cream makes a great topping for tacos, quesadillas and even burgers.
  • Seasoned rice vinegar is different than regular rice vinegar. It has added sugar and salt.

    • Peppers (Hot)

    Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
