Lemon is a good substitute for lime in flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, combine pre cooked black rice, chopped garlic, chick peas, lemon juice, Za'atar, olive oil, chopped plum tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and flaked chilli.

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.

Scoop out a small amount of avocado flesh to create a larger cavity for filling.

Fill each avocado half with the black rice mixture, packing it gently.

Place the avocados in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
