Taco Stuffed Avocados aka “Avo-Tacos”

I believe in tacos.

I believe avocado & fresh salsa make the world a happier place.

I believe dinner should be colorful, and SIMPLE.

Makes 6 halves

Ingredients:

• 3 medium ripe avocados
• Juice of 2 fresh limes
• 1 lb. ground meat of choice (I used grass-fed beef tonight)
• 1/2 of a yellow onion, diced
• Homemade taco seasoning:
• 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp onion powder
• 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/8 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
  (Combine spices well, you will only use about half of this mix per pound of meat, or to taste)

Fresh taco toppings of choice:

• diced tomatoes
• fresh pico
• cilantro
• olives
• a touch of natural cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Halve avocados, brush with fresh lime juice, sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
2. Brown meat with the onion in a skillet over medium heat.
3. Once cooked through, drain well.
4. Add homemade taco seasoning (I add a sprinkle at a time, and taste test until it’s right) and 1 Tbsp hot water.
5. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until flavors combine.
6. Scoop hot meat into avocados.

Allow each person to top their Avo-Taco as they wish.
