Rice, Beans & Avocados

I forgot to buy tomatoes, but I promise this was good even with out them. Oh how I love avocados! I found this recipe through one the of the millon cookbooks I have checked out from the library but apparently the title didn't get written down. Enjoy this meatless dish, it's pretty tastey!
