Instructions

  1. Bring salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Drop in the broccoli florets, cook for only 20 seconds, remove with a large slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Repeat with the carrots, peas, and corn.
  2. Heat a small sauté pan over medium-low heat. Once it is hot, sprinkle the oregano and let it toast, stirring constantly, for only 15 to 20 seconds.
  3. Remove from the heat and scrape the oregano into a small bowl. Incorporate the Mexican crema, mayo, lime juice, adobo sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix well and pour onto vegetable mix.
  4. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. With a large soup spoon, scoop out the entire avocado half and place on an appetizer plate.
  5. Spoon a very generous half cup of veggies on top. Repeat with the rest of the avocado halves.If there are any veggies left – depending on size of avocados – distribute amongst the plates, even if it is not over the avocado halves.
