These adorable Avocado Bites with hummus and baked tortilla are surprisingly easy to make and so impressive.

Feel free to replace hummus with pesto, cottage cheese, cream cheese, or even whipped feta.
Recipe Tip
A squeeze of lemon or lime juice on top of the avocado is delicious and will keep it from browning, too!
