These Mexican Layered Cheesecake Bites have a tortilla chip crust, avocado cheesecake, queso dip, then topped with salsa and sour cream.

These Mexican Layered Cheesecake Bites came about because I had too many avocados.

Now, if you love avocados you may be saying to yourself…you can never have too many avocados.

Turns out, you can have too many.

Earlier this month I made my monthly order to the restaurant supply store.

It’s where I buy my 50 pounds of superfine sugar (which I go through a lot of).

But they also sell some smaller quantity items.

Like avocados.

See, I used Instacart to place the order.

I use Instacart a lot.

While it does not happen often, they sometimes get their PLU codes messed up.

An example of this is when I paid $24 for one energy drink when it was supposed to be a 12 pack. They refunded me.

On that particular day I wanted avocados.

They had a bag of 8 avocados for $10 so I added that to my cart.

Ironically, I worried if my husband and I would be able to use 8 avocados before they went bad.

I say ironic because what they brought me was not 8 avocados.

What I got delivered to me was a GIANT box of avocados.

When I first saw my delivery (they leave it at the door) I panicked that I clicked the wrong box. I quickly looked up my order and I had only ordered 8.

If you get food items like produce, meat, and dairy leave the store they can’t be returned.

You can be refunded for the item (or get a replacement item) you want to return but it doesn’t go back on shelves.

I called the supply store and they told me just to keep the avocados as they could not take them back.

I was worried about 8 avocados.

So imagine how much that worry jumped when there were 56 avocados.

56.

I immediately gave half of them to the local food bank.

Gave some to friends.

And the rest we took on ourselves.

I figured the way avocados are that half of them wouldn’t end up being good.

I was incorrect.

Every single avocado that we had from that box was perfect.

Perfect!!! That never happens.

Never.

My husband and I ate avocado toast everyday for a week.

We had it with every meal.

And I tried to get creative.

Which is how these Mexican Layered Cheesecake Bites came about.

I make savory cheesecakes often but never in bite form.

My husband loved these.

They were designed to be like your own mini layer dip.

It has a crumbled tortilla chip bottom.

Then an avocado cheesecake filling.

Topped with queso dip.

Then baked.

Chilled.

And then topped with salsa and sour cream.

They are perfect for parties. Say….Cinco de Mayo?

And as always it’s a great day to buy my cookbook.
