- 1 cone (6 1/2 ounces) piloncillo or 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 6 garlic cloves, cut into strips
- 2 medium white onions, peeled and thinly sliced

Instructions
- Wash the chiles in warm water, carefully slit them open on one side, and remove the seeds and veins.
- Bring the white vinegar, red vinegar, and water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the piloncillo, oil, and salt. Heat until the piloncillo melts. Add the garlic, onions, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns and allspice. Cook about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the chiles. Place all of the Chiles Anchos en Escabeche in a covered container and marinate one day at room temperature. They will hold, refrigerated, at least 1 week.
- Prepare the Avocado Filling just before serving.
- Drain the chiles and stuff with the Avocado Filling. Arrange on a serving platter and drench with the marinade. Decorate with the onion and garlic drained from the marinade. (The chiles may be sliced in half lengthwise and stuffed, for smaller portions.)
- Mash the avocados with a fork and stir in the onions, cilantro, chiles, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
