    Avocados have almost 20 essential vitamins and minerals our bodies need. These include potassium, folic acid, vitamin B, vitamin K, B-vitamins and phytonutrients. Plus avocados help your body absorb more fat-soluble nutrients and are a great source of the antioxidant lutein which is said to help maintain eyesight.

    Avocados from Mexico encourages you to include avocados as a part of your healthy diet by including them in your game day recipes this year. From appetizers and snacks to the main dish, you can incorporate healthy avocados into your game day - they taste great and no one will even know they are so good for you.

    Their website has a wide range of different game day oriented recipes and the one that spoke to me the most was the Beef Chili with Avocado Recipe.

    I modified the recipe slightly. We used ground chicken instead of ground beef and added 2 whole avocados into the chili itself as well. We also used minced onion instead of a whole onion because of what we had on hand. For the original recipe visit the game day recipes section on the Avocados from Mexico page.

    My modified version is below:

    This turned out really good! I was skeptical because of my past experience with guacamole, but we all loved it. My son ate 4 bowls and ate it again for lunch the next day. The avocado chili recipe was definitely a big hit here!

        Oh I LOVE Chili! The hotter the better but I don't like it to be too chunky.

        Thanks! I pick up random single pieces for taking pictures. I love this one.
