I was at CVS pharmacy with my husband and he picked up Cleaning Eating Magazine and opened to Taco-stuffed Avocado Boats. So, I decided that is what’s for dinner. It was really good. They are made by halving avocados, removing the pits and a little bit of the avocado, then filling them with a mixture of taco meat (I used ground Turkey), cheese, and your favorite taco toppings. You purée the scooped-out avocado with some sour cream and lime juice. Avocados are a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins.

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 15 mins
  • Yields: 8 Servings

Ingredients

4 large avocados, halved and pitted (peel on)

½ cup full-fat sour cream

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

¾ teaspoon sea salt, divided

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

½ cup red bell pepper, diced

¼ cup white onion, diced

½ pound lean ground beef or ground turkey

¼ cup prepared salsa

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon chile powder

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

¼ cup cilantro, chopped

Directions

1Scoop out 2 to 3 tablespoons flesh from the bottom of each avocado half, leaving the remaining flesh in avocado intact. Add removed flesh to a food processor along with sour cream, lime juice and ¼ teaspoon salt. Purée until smooth and set aside.

2In a medium skillet on medium, heat oil. Add bell pepper and onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add beef and cook for 8 minutes, breaking up meat with a spoon. Add salsa, cumin, chile powder, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Cook for another 3 minutes or until cooked through. Stir in cheese.

3Divide filling between avocado halves; drizzle with avocado-sour cream mixture. Top with cilantro.
