I'm not sure what went wrong, but my avocado filling turned out brown and chunky. The yams were also overcooked. I would not make this dish again.

This dish was just okay. The avocado filling was good, but the yams were a bit dry. I would not make this dish again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The avocado filling was creamy and flavorful, and the yams were perfectly roasted. I would make this dish again, but I would use less chili powder.
