Gazpacho filled Avocados

I love avocados and practically all Mexican food and I found this recipe for an appetizer that I thought would make a perfect luncheon salad for me today...Avocados filled with Gazpacho:

I served it in a dish that I bought in Puerto Vallarta almost 10 years ago.

...with blue corn tortillas on the side - it was scrumptious :)

Here is the recipe:
