Mean Green Avocado Deviled Eggs

I could add avocado to most dishes, and it will instantly make things better. Not to mention green is my favorite color, so I was all over this recipe. I love avocado and eggs, so this is just a new way to have them, although it is a close tie with the traditional egg/avocado breakfast omelet. Make a batch of these yummy, good for you eggs today! They might just make you MEAN AND GREEN, in a good way!
