The idea for this recipe came to me one night when I was trying to find a quick and easy meal to make for dinner. I had some leftover ground turkey in the fridge, and I wanted to use it up. I also had some avocados and tortilla chips on hand, so I decided to throw them all together in a bowl. The result was a delicious and satisfying meal that I've been making ever since.
