Flank steak on its own is one of my favorite cuts of steak. Mission Avocados on their own is one of my favorite fruits. And I mean – chimichurri. What more do I need to say?
This recipe just put itself together.
But I mean the star of every recipe is always avocado to me, especially during the summer. They’re super versatile, and absolutely delicious.
One of my favorite snacks is just cutting open a Mission avocado and spooning out that delicious fatty goodness. It keeps me full longer so I can spend more time outdoors having fun with the fam!
To make the avocado chimichurri is simple. Take what you normally put in a chimichurri, blend in an avocado, and then add chunks of beautifully ripe avocado at the end.
