If I may humbly suggest an addition, you can make a tasty blender avocado taco sauce by upping the lime juice a bit and adding a small clove of garlic and a Serrano or jalapeño pepper. Add a little water if it's too thick. This can also be done without the yogurt.
My easy dinner tonight is a cornucopia of carbs: corn dogs with ketchup and mustard and a buttered bagel.
So, a little more lime juice and a Serrano or Jalepeno? And with out the yogurt? My son would agree. He's a vegan and loves everything spicy. I like spicy things also. I also like creamy things. I'm definitely going to add more lime juice. I'm good with the pepper addition. I love both kinds of peppers! I'd love to add. I'm just not sure about removing the Greek yogurt? Exchange it for sour cream? Add a second avocado?

Please, I am very open.
The yogurt is a thickener and you add water to this sauce to make it thinner, but I bet it would be great if you keep the yogurt and add a bit more water. The amount of chiles are purely to taste - I think this sauce should be on the hot side because you have the cooling counterbalances of the avocado and the yogurt. I might do two avocados and two chiles, depending on their size.
I first had a green hot sauce like this at Olvera Street in downtown LA - across the road from beautiful Union Station. There it is served with the most delicious yet inexpensive rolled tacos or taquitos - hot right out of the grease.
Most green sauces are tomatillo based and I'm not a huge fan of them.

Great advice, Debsi!
I like the idea of adding two avocados and two (or three) chiles as well, and not too heavy on the yogurt.
Tonight, I had a turkey sub with jalapeño potato chips.
We are having our daughter over for her weekly visit. We are having meat loaf, not your basic mommy's meat loaf. I add a few extra ingredients to give it a little bite. We are also having rice, snow peas and small fruit salad.
Sometimes a simple dinner is best. This is the plate I made for the husband last night. I made a smaller version for me and the kids. Tuna on croissants, Utz chips and a pickle.
Tonight I am grilling marinated in Italian dressing chicken breast and putting it on a large salad.
That is a good-looking sandwich, and I love the snowman skewers.
We had a late lunch yesterday and were not super hungry. I picked up a little cheese assortment at the deli (dill havarti, brie, and a couple cheeses with some yummy salty crystals), some olives and marinated mushrooms from the salad bar, and a chunk of smoked salmon. We munched.
